Quiet Storm
LeVert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am all alone
No one to talk to 'cause you're gone
Without you here the nights are long
So I turn the radio on
Hope they play my favorite song

I called on the line
To make a special request
And I say it all on the radio
To the girl I love the best
From me to you, ooh

(Oh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, you, you, you, you, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Sending, sending out my song to you
On a quiet storm, baby
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You so near but yet so far
The music is soothing
But I still need to be where you are
So baby, I'm ready, the feeling is real
I wanna do things so baby, please say you will

I called on the line
To make a special request
And I say it all on the radio
To the girl I love the best
From me to you, ooh

Quiet storm, oh, baby, quiet storm
Mr. DJ, play my favorite song
(Play my favorite song)
Please, quiet Storm, oh, oh, oh, oh

I just want my girl to know
How much I need her
(How much I need her, want her)
How much I want her
(How much I need her, oh, my baby)
Play my favorite song

See it's getting late and she needs to know
That I miss her, I love her, I need her, I want her
(I love her so)
I got to let her know, hey, hey, hey
(Hey, hey, hey)

Somebody play my song
(Somebody play my song)
Play my song for me
(Play my song for me)
And my lady, I gotta let her know
I'm never gonna let her go, oh

Well, well
Well, well, well
This one's for you, oh
No, oh, ooh, ooh

Send it out, sing it loud
I'll play it on the line
(On a special request)
I want to send it to my baby
(Send it out, sing it loud)

Said I been waiting too long
(Waiting too long)
I need I need to hear my favorite song
(You know I need, you know I need, play, play)
Play it, Mr. DJ, won't you play my favorite song?

Play my favorite song
Play my favorite song
Play my favorite song
Play my favorite song




Play my favorite song
Play my favorite song
