The RadioDr. Hook

Songwriter: Shel Silverstein Dennis Locorriere

Producer: Ron Haffkine

[Verse 1]
Lately, I've been givin' everything I've got to feelin' alone
Baby you got me livin' one of them hard luck songs on the radio

[Bridge 1]
Oh and I know, if I change the station I'll get the same song
Hope it ain't on the top too long

[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause I really couldn't take it but they kept on playin' it
It's too unhappy and too close to home
I don't wanna hear it but the singer keeps singin' that song

[Chorus]
I gave you my love, you didn't earn it
Then I gave you my life, but you wouldn't stay
And I hope you will return it to me someday
I gave you my love, you didn't earn it
Then I gave you my life but you threw it away
And I hope you will return it to me someday

[Verse 2]
Some days I just sit around and kind of dream and watch the rain
Or I'll pick up some ol' magazine of yours that I forgot to throw away

[Bridge 2]
Then I'll sleep a little or walk the floor
I'll smoke a lot more than I did before
I'll call somebody I used to know
Just to try to stay away from that radio

[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause I really can't take it when they keep on playin' it
It's so unhappy and so close to home
I don't wanna hear it but the singer keeps singin' that song

[Chorus]
I gave you my love, you didn't earn it
Then I gave you my life, but you wouldn't stay
And I hope you will return it to me someday
I gave you my love, you didn't earn it
Then I gave you my life but you threw it away
And I hope you will return it to me someday

[Chorus / Outro]
I gave you my love, you didn't earn it
Then I gave you my life but you threw it away
And I hope you will return it [fade]
