Songtekst
Chorus:
Pilot of the airwaves
Here is my request
You don't have to play it
But I hope you'll do your best
I've been listening to your show
On the radio
And you seem like a friend to me
Or a record of your choice
I don' t mind , I'd be happy just to hear your voice
Saying this is for the girl
Who didn't sign her name
Yes, she needs a dedication just the same
Bridge:
Late at night I'm still listening
Don' t waste my time chasing sleep
People say I look weary
But that 's just the company I keep
Ooooh, you make the nighttime race
Ooooh, I don't need to see your face
You're sounding good (sounding good)
Sounding good to me
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Bridge
You're sounding so good to me
Repeat Chorus
Oh, I've been listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me
Repeat Chorus
