I'd sit alone and watch your light

My only friend through teenage nights

And everything I had to know

I heard it on my radio

You gave them all those old time stars

Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars

You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry

You made us feel like we could fly

So don't become some background noise

A backdrop for the girls and boys

Who just don't know or just don't care

And just complain when you're not there

You had your time, you had the power

You've yet to have your finest hour

Radio

All we hear is Radio Ga Ga

Radio Goo Goo

Radio Ga Ga

All we hear is Radio Ga Ga

Radio Blah Blah

Radio, what's new?

Radio, someone still loves you

We watch the shows, we watch the stars

On videos for hours and hours

We hardly need to use our ears

How music changes through the years

Let's hope you never leave old friend

Like all good things on you we depend

So stick around 'cause we might miss you

When we grow tired of all this visual

You had your time, you had the power

You've yet to have your finest hour

Radio

Radio Goo Goo

All we hear is Radio Ga Ga

Radio Goo Goo

All we hear is Radio Ga Ga

Radio Blah Blah

Radio, what's new?

Someone still loves you

Radio Ga Ga

You had your time, you had the power

You've yet to have your finest hour.
