Turn on the Radio
Tommy Page Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Friday night and things just ain't right
Me and my baby just had a fight
I'm down and blue, don't know what to do
There's only one way to get my message through
Pick up the phone and call the DJ
I need a dedication right away
Something special, something so true
This one's going out from me to you

[Chorus]
Turn on the radio, they're playing our song
Turn on the radio 'cause we're gonna dance
All night long

I need to find a moment in time
When she's listening to the words from this
Poor heart of mine
Just to let her know I really love her so
And somehow I just gotta let my feelings show

Do you remember the night we met
I knew it was the start




Of something baby I would never forget
This was the song that stole our hearts
