DeGraw, Gavin - Making Love With The Radio On Lyrics






I tried giving up
Walked through quite enough
Had to call it a day
From an ex who showed up falling to
Grand piano falling on the edge of the parkway
Got no good advice
Hotline called me twice
Said, "I went through the wall
Do you have a quote to lend me
Or a friend to send me?"
But I got no help at all

So I loosened my lips
And let a little prayer I memorized
Do what I just wished
And suddenly, to my surprise

Oh, DJ, when you play my song
Make me feel bigger than an old King Kong
At the risk of this coming out wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on
Oh, every time I hear that jam
Grabbed my baby right by her hand
Even if my day was going all wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on

Snatched my medicine
Light it like Edison
Turned it right up to the sky
You're my absolutely fictional
Pure perfection
My Venetian boat ride
Blown out speakers
And worn out tweeters
And still I get the effect
If you got my go-to living
[?] me in the spirit
Even if I'm a complete wreck

Don't you call it a flaw
Everybody needs some a peace of mind
It should be the law
To take a little private time

Oh, DJ, when you play my song
Make me feel bigger than an old King Kong
At the risk of this coming out wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on
Oh, every time I hear that jam
Grabbed my baby right by her hand
Even if my day was going all wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on

I want to feel like this, so hold me forever
Emotions are real like this and flow like a river
And you are the only one

Oh, DJ, when you play my song
Make me feel bigger than an old King Kong
At the risk of this coming out wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on

Oh, every time I hear that sound
Engine running and I'm homeward bound
Even if my day was going all wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on

With the radio, with the radio
Feel like making love with the radio on
With the radio, with the radio
Feel like making love with the radio on
With the radio, with the radio
With the radio on
With the radio, with the radio

    Yes,its sounds much more, how should i say this........."I am a 2016 rock star and nothing can hurt me."

  38. �.... ....

    I Never liked One Tree But I've Always Loved Him.  Chariot was how I was introduced to him.  That cd did amazing things for me that year!

  50. L.... G....

    Nothing like "Chariot" era.
    Bye

  51. W.... ....

    No idea why anyone would dislike this song. It's so uplifting & feel good in my opinion! 😍

    W.... ....

  53. i.... S....

    💛💞😍

  54. j.... ....

    Mixing up more genres, nice :) His voice is so great.

  55. E.... B....

    Another memorable song! I kinda get why the one before this was...a little different from his normal stuff, it's common for artists to play around with different sounds, but this one has that vintage Gavin feel to it, even though it has a less baby grand sound to it.

  56. M.... M....

    "Gliwice Radio Tower" http://s3.flog.pl/media/foto/2689421_radiostacja-gliwicka--.jpg

  60. B.... N....

    I’ve tried giving up
    Walked through quite enough fire to call it a day
    From an ex who showed up bawling
    To a grand piano fallin’ on the edge of the parkway

    Got no good advice
    Hotline called it twice
    Said “I went through the wall…
    Do you have a quote to lend me,
    Or a friend to send me?”
    But I got not help at all

    So I loosened my lips
    And let a little prayer I memorized
    Do what I just wished,
    And suddenly to my surprise

    Oh, DJ when you play my song
    Make me feel bigger than old King Kong
    At the risk of this coming out wrong
    Feel like makin’ love with the radio on
    (radio on)
    Oh every time you play that jam
    Grab my baby right by her hand
    Even if my day was going all wrong
    Feel like makin’ love with the radio on

    That’s my medicine
    Light it like Edison
    Turn it right up to the sky
    You’re my absolute reflection
    Of pure perfection
    My Venetian boat ride

    Blown out speakers
    And worn out tweeters
    And still I get the effect
    If you got my go to lyric,
    It’ll get me in the spirit
    Even if I’m a complete wreck

    Don’t you call it a flaw
    Everybody needs some peace of mind
    It should be the law
    To take a little private time

    Oh DJ when you play my song
    Make me feel bigger than old King Kong
    At the risk of this coming out wrong
    Feel like makin’ love with the radio on

    Oh every time I hear that jam
    Grab my baby right by her hand
    Even if my day was going all wrong
    Feel like makin’ love with the radio on

    I want to feel like this so hold me forever
    Emotions are real like this and flow like a river
    You are the only one
    And all I need, yeah

    Oh DJ when you play my song
    Make me feel bigger than old King Kong
    At the risk of this coming out wrong
    Feel like makin’ love with the radio on

    Oh every time I hear that sound
    Engine running and I’m homeward bound
    Even if my day was goin all wrong
    Feel like makin’ love with the radio on

    B.... N....

  61. t.... b....

  62. I.... ....

  63. n.... ....

    OMG so glad this was on my recommended

  64. F.... S....

    I LIKE THE OLD AND THE NEW GAVIN MUSIC BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL GOOD TO ME IN MY OPINION SO NO NEED TO JUDGE ME

  65. C.... S....

    This is another good song Gavin. 👏
    "She Sets the City on Fire" is an absolute favorite! You were able to reach potential fans and convert them into fans through that song. I know because I'm one of them. :)

  66. C.... S....

    2:59 😍😍😍

  67. J.... B....

    eeekkk!! love it! Gavin you are a genius! :)

  68. K.... R....

    This one will have to grow on me a bit, but its nice. Ill probably comment in two days saying im obsessed with it haha

  69. H.... O....

    thank goodness this is wayyy closer to the old Gavin I love than she sets the city in fire!!!

  70. S.... N....

    Now this is the Gavin music I was waiting for!

  71. t.... ....

    If you ever get tired of that amazing voice of yours I can take it.

  72. L.... ....

    Oh my baby did it again 👌😩👏👏❤️

  73. p.... r....

    he's the reason I watched one tree hill and it ended up being my favorite TV show. thanks Gav 😍.

  74. N.... E....

    Beautiful~

  75. M.... ....

    Gavin, don't listen to people who say this is better than she sets the city on fire, both songs are amazing!!

  76. F.... E....

    good!!!

  77. R.... M....

    I know he is on tour with train... but dang he basically made a train song here.

    R.... M....

    ya, he did that previously too. train's new song is about playing a song. very similiar. grr

    R.... M....

    He is on tour with Andy G.

    R.... M....

    Kellie Sheakoski he's been on tour with train multiple times in the past.

  78. A.... ....

    omg I'm in love

  79. C.... M....

    Love it,!! the best singer ever!! Please come to Mexico

  80. G.... G....

    mi artista favorito

  81. A.... E....

    Redeemed!!!!!! Xxoo

  82. j.... ....

    So much better than She Sets The City On Fire! Thank you Gavin!

  83. D.... G....

    Hmmm country much?

    D.... G....

    It is blues rock.

    D.... G....

    I like it tho

    D.... G....

    his album "Free" is VERY country imo

  84. T.... S....

    Love it! Another great feel good song from Gavin!

  85. I.... /....

    I saw Gavin live!

  86. k.... f....

    I am totally loving this song. One of the things I love about GD is his soulfulness. Another is his mix of influences. This song starts off with DooWop, then I hear a Hawaiian ukulele vibe, then the horns give it a Ska/Reggae sound, and finally the Gospel choir with hand clapping closes out the song. Genius :)

    k.... f....

    +Knit flick agreed I also like you can still recognize it is Gavin.

  87. T.... W....

    New Gavin music?!? Yes!!!!!

  88. D.... S....

    love ur vocal

  89. S.... A....

    I love this!!! And your new album💜

  90. M.... H....

    Who else listens to Gavin because of One Tree Hill?

    M.... H....

    Maya Hattangdi Me!!!!!

    M.... H....

    I do😁🎧🎤

    M.... H....

    Nope. Chariot -Stripped hooked me. I sing More Than Anyone acapella. Just friends and Belief vocals and guitar

    M.... H....

    Maya Hattangdi me

    M.... H....

    But I have never been able to watch the last swasin

  91. Z.... D....

    he's done it again

  92. P.... D....

    fantastic Gavin, love it

  93. E.... ....

    Yes, this is way better than She Sets The City On Fire!! That songs was way more a "typical radio hit" song and it wasn't my cup of tea. But this song made me soooo happy! I hear more of the "older" Gavin sounds!

    E.... ....

    I agree

    E.... ....

    Yes!!!!!!!!

    E.... ....

    i agree, but check out she sets the city on fire live, its way better than the original

    E.... ....

    This is also the one of only two tracks he wrote by himself on the latest album. The dudes still got it.

    E.... ....

    maybe he should continue to right music by himself..

  94. i.... ....

    I've been having very rough couple of days. You can not believe how much this song changed my mood. Hands down Gavin is one of the best singers ever. For me at least.

  95. E.... I....

    Awesome tune, Gavin! Thanks, every song has its memory. Went to LA with my girlfriend last summer, when taking long bus trips from El Monte to the center of the city we would listen to many of Gavin's songs. Our hymn was Finest Hour. Great inspirations to you!
