“LOVE ON THE AIR"

 

Love on the air

I keep transmitting but reception is hazy

I don't get an answer

Keep sending it faster

Always knew it was crazy

To put my love on the air.

 

No one will hurt me again

No one will cause me to lie

No one will control me by pain

No one will cause me to cry

I was looking for love

In wandering eyes

Like a ship trying to fix on a beacon

I learned how to sigh

On the ribbon and wires

It's a habit that's so hard to weaken

 

No one will ever manipulate

Make me promise to do or die

No one can make me hesitate

What can I lose if they try

I was looking for love

Like the very first time

Didn't realise love never left me

Contradicted - conspired

I connived and designed

Nothing on earth could arrest me.

 

Reception is hazy

When you put your love on the air

Always knew it was crazy

To put my love on the air

But I only communicate

When I put my love on the air

You don't have to consummate

Love on the air
