Don't Touch My Radio
Jana Kramer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You kinda like me
Let's take a ride, way out in the country
Tonight I'm driving
That's right, you're riding
Go grab your smokes and hand me my car keys
Don't fight, you're gonna lose
You can put your hand on my knee
Lean a little bit closer to me
Whisper in my ear, kiss me on the neck
Run your fingers through my hair
Sing as loud as you want, boy, I don't care
Put your hands on the wheel or tell me where to go
But baby, here's the deal
Don't touch my radio, no
I like my boys like I like my music
Down on the country
That's how I knew that
You'd be the most fun
Here riding shotgun
Don't touch the dial, there won't be a problem
Nothing wrong with rock 'n' roll
But right now, I'm in control
You can put your hand on my knee
Lean a little bit closer to me
Whisper in my ear, kiss me on the neck
Run your fingers through my hair
Sing as loud as you want, boy, I don't care
Put your hands on the wheel or tell me where to go
But baby, here's the deal
Don't touch my radio, no
You can put your hand on my knee
Lean a little bit closer to me
You can put your hand on my knee
Lean a little bit closer to me
Whisper in my ear, kiss me on the neck
Run your fingers through my hair
Sing as loud as you want, boy, I don't care
Drum on the dash, let the speakers blow
But don't you even ask
Don't touch my radio
Put your hands on the wheel or tell me where to go
Baby, here's the deal
Don't touch my radio.
The song "Don't Touch My Radio" by Jana Kramer begins with an invitation from the singer to the person she likes which is reciprocated. She suggests that they take a ride away from the city so they could be alone together. However, she has a couple of rules and the first one is that he cannot touch her radio. This seems to be a big deal for her as she repeats it several times throughout the songs. She then goes ahead to explain why she likes him and why he is the perfect person to go on this adventure with. She also mentions that while there is nothing wrong with rock 'n' roll, she wants to be in control of what they listen to at the moment.
The chorus reinforces the rule of not touching the radio and the fact that she does not want him to ask or even negotiate about it. She lists all the other things that he can do like hold her hand or sing as loudly as he wants. She also mentions that she is comfortable with him taking the steering wheel and giving directions. She just does not want him to touch her radio.
Overall, the song "Don't Touch My Radio" highlights the importance of boundaries in relationships. It shows that while it is great to be with someone you like, it is also important to have and communicate your personal boundaries. In this case, the singer's boundary is her radio, and it is also the one thing that she does not want her partner to mess with.
