lyrics

My radio's my only friend
Speaks to me when I make my coffee
Other girls might want a little more
But I've a simple heart, and I've been hurt before

I live alone, almost by choice
Most the time I enjoy the freedom
But every once in a while, wouldn't it be nice
to come home to a warm embrace

Talk to me, oh radio
Tune in honey, to my frequency
Weren't for you I wouldn't hear another voice
all the livelong day, said all the livelong day

My radio's my only friend
Speaks to me when I make my coffee
Other girls might want a little more
But I've a simple heart, and I've been hurt before
