Radio
Jamiroquai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something she's keeping from me
I'm not dumb
Don't give a damn, three's not a crowd
I'm a man, I'm a man

She likes boys, she likes girls
Twists her little fingers 'round those supernatural curls
There's a spider in her eyes
Something she can't disguise from me

And two heavy whispers from her blackened lips
Was all it took to get a touch feeling skits
Now she's gone, I'm left alone, lone like a loaded gun
I see you soon, lets have some fun, let's get it on

I have a reefer and some Spanish cigarettes
And on the back was written her address
Call me up, try me on, tune me in, let's make a supernova
Let's make another naked light show

Let's get it on the radio
You took me last night and you weren't alone
Lets get it on the radio
You're making love to me in stereo

Let's do some crazy shit tonight
You guys have got the only tune I like
So let's get it on the radio
Just do it to me, give it to me, makin' love in stereo

Well, you come unstuck when you get misinformation
Don't drop me now, I'm high?
You dropped my lever and I lost this elevation
Baby I was so high, drop me out of your sky

Oh, baby you're wrong, all night
You were making love to me in stereo
Can't you see there's nothing wrong, all night
I know you want to get it on the radio

That's when some funny money funny business going on
Something she's keeping from me, I'm not dumb
Don't give a damn, well, three's not a crowd
I'm a man, I'm a man

She likes boys, she likes girls
Twists her little fingers 'round those supernatural curls
There's a spider in her eyes, something she can't disguise
That girl, ah, she's making love in stereo

So let's get it on the radio
You took me last night and you weren't alone
So let's get it on the radio
You're making love to me in stereo

Let's sneak it on the midnight news
You liked it once but now you work in twos
So let's get it on the radio
Just do it to me, give it to me, makin' love in stereo

All night, all night, all night
Let's get it on
All night, all nigh
Let's just get it on

Hey, I know all along
You were making love to me in stereo
I can see there's nothing wrong
I know you want to get it on the radio
Oh, let's get it on

All night, all night
Let's just get it on
All night, all night, all night
Let's get it on

All night, all night
Let's just get it on
All night, all night, all night
Let's get it on

Something she's keeping from me, I'm not dumb




I don't give a damn, three's not a crowd
I'm a man, I'm a man

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jamiroquai's song "Radio" are about a man's sexual encounter with a woman who he suspects is hiding something from him. He doesn't care if she's with other partners or if she's attracted to both boys and girls, and he's willing to smoke marijuana and cigarettes with her in order to have a good time. Despite their attraction, she ultimately leaves him feeling alone and disconnected. Throughout the song, the singer expresses a casual and confident attitude toward sex, emphasizing his desire to enjoy himself and make a "naked light show" with his partner. The repeated refrain of "Let's get it on the radio" suggests that he wants their sexual encounter to become public and broadcasted, further emphasizing his desire for attention and excitement.


The singer's unconventional and hedonistic approach to sex is mirrored in the song's music, which blends funk, rock, and electronic elements. The song's energetic drum beat and bassline, along with its catchy chorus, make for a fun and danceable track. Overall, "Radio" captures the carefree and experimental spirit of the 1990s, when Jamiroquai was at the forefront of the British acid jazz movement.
