Hey girl, what's up?

I know it's late, but I knew you'd pick it up

Naw, I ain't drunk

Okay, maybe I do have a little buzz but

That song came on and I just thought

What harm could come from one little call?

I know you say you're taken, but I say girl you're taking too long

To tell him that it's over

Then bring it on over

Stringing him along any longer girl

It's just wasting precious time

Girl, you know it can't wait

Rip it off just like a band-aid

The way you look at me, girl, you can't pretend

I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him

I know, you don't wanna break his heart

But that ain't no good reason to be keeping us apart look,

Just tell him, it's you, it ain't him,

And maybe you can lie to him and say you'll still be friends

Whatever you got to say to get through to him that you ain't in love

C'mon you can't deny that you and I kinda fit like a glove

So tell him that it's over

Then bring it on over

Stringing him along any longer girl

It's just wasting precious time

Girl, you know it can't wait

Rip it off just like a band-aid

It ain't my business to be all up in

But I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him

I know that you're so done with him

Break up with him, break up with him

You would've hung up by now

If you weren't thinking it too

No pressure, whatever

Just do what you gotta do, but if I was you

I'd tell him that it's over

Then bring it on over

Stringing him along any longer girl

It's just wasting precious time

Girl, you know it can't wait

Just rip it off like a band-aid

Yeah, I know I said it, but I'll say it again

I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him

The way you look at me, girl, you can't pretend,

I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him, yeah

Just break up with him.

You know I never meant to see you again

But I only passed by as a friend (yeah)

All this time I stayed out of sight

I started wondering why

Now I, oo... now I wish it would rain down, down on me

Ooo... yes I wish it would rain, rain down on me now

Ooo... yes I wish it would rain down, down on me

Ooo... yes I wish it would rain on me

You said you didn't need me in your life

I guess you were right (yeah)

Oo... I never meant to cause you no pain

But it looks like I did it again (yeah)

Now I, now I know I wish it would rain down, down on me

Ooo... yes I wish it would rain, rain down on me now

Ooo... girl I wish it would rain down, down on me

Ooo... yes I wish it would rain on me

Though your hurt is gone, mines hanging on, inside

And I know, well it's eating me through, it's eating me through, night and day

I'm just waiting on your sign

'Cause I know, I know I never meant to cause you no pain

And I realise I let you down (oh yeah)

But I know in my heart of hearts

I know I'm never gonna hold you again, no

Now I, now I know I wish it would rain down, down on me

Oh you know I wish it would rain, rain down on me now

Ooh yes I wish it would rain down, down on me

Yes you know I wish it would rain down, rain down over me

Just rain down on me

Just let it rain down, let it rain down, let it rain down...

Oh yeah. Let it rain down, (rain) rain down over me.

Just let it rain down,

Just let it rain down, let it rain down.

Just let it rain...

Unchain my heart

Baby, let me be

'Cause you don't care

Let me

Set me free

Unchain my heart

Baby, let me go

Unchain my heart

'Cause you don't love me no more

Every time I call you on the phone

Some fella tells me that you're not at home

Unchain my heart

Set me free

Unchain my heart

Baby let me be

Unchain my heart

'Cause you don't care about me

You've got me sewed up like a pillow case

But you let my love go to waste

Unchain my heart

Set me free

I'm under your spell

Like a man in a trance baby

Oh but you know darn well

That I don't stand a chance

Unchain my heart

Let me me go my way

Unchain my heart

You worry me night and day

Why lead me through a life of misery

When you don't care about the beans for me

Unchain my heart oh please

Set me free

Alright

I'm under your spell

Just like a man in a trance, baby

But you know darn well

That I don't stand a chance

Please unchain my heart

Let me go my way

Unchain my heart

You worry me night and day

Why lead me through a life of misery

When you don't care about the beans for me

Unchain my heart

Please set me free

Oh set me free

Oh woman, why don't you do that for me?

You don't care

Won't you let me go

That you don't love me no more

Like a man in a trance

Let me go

I'm under your spell

Like a man in a trance

And you're no doubt aware

That I don't stand a chance no

Oh

You don't care

Please set me free.

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

All we hear is Radio Ga Ga

Radio Goo Goo

Radio Ga Ga

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?

Someone still loves you

You had your time, you had the power

You've yet to have your finest hour.
