Blame it on the moonlight, blame it on the radio
I just wanna hold her tight, and never let her go
Maybe its her blue eyes, or maybe its her sweet hello
I just know it feels so right, I gotta let her know

Yeah!

Whos that girl walking down the street, whos that girl I got to meet
Sexy dress, cut with style, she makes me weak, she drives me wild

I got her number written on my hand, its more than I can stand

Blame it on the moonlight, blame it on the radio
I just wanna hold her tight, and never let her go
Maybe its her blue eyes, or maybe its her sweet hello
I just know it feels so right, I gotta let her know

Whos that girl, I got to know, whos that girl, I can't let go

Hot n bothered, I can't sleep at night, one kiss could make it right

Blame it on the moonlight, blame it on the radio
I just wanna hold her tight, and never let her go
Maybe its her blue eyes, or maybe its her sweet hello
I just wanna know, blame the radio, blame the radio

I always seem to be the lonely one
Maybe someday Ill be the only one, the only one

Blame it on the moonlight, blame it on the radio
Blame it on me, blame it on you, oh
Blame it on the radio, blame it on the radio
Blame it on your father, oh your mother, blame it on anyone, anyone
Blame it on the radio, the radio, the radio, the radio... (to fade)

John Parr (born 18 November 1952) is a Grammy-nominated English musician, best known for his 1985 US #1 single “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” and for his 1984 single “Naughty Naughty” (US Rock #1). Parr was nominated for a Grammy award for “St Elmo’s Fire” in 1985.

Parr first entered the music scene when he was 12 years old and formed a band with two fellow schoolmates, which they named The Silence. The band had achieved some success. They eventually became professional and started to tour Europe. He then joined a band named Bitter Suite who were a huge success in the working men’s clubs in Yorkshire, he then formed a “Super Band” with musicians from other working men’s club bands, and named the band Ponders End , a band that set a new precedent for the bands in the north.

Parr secured a publishing deal with Carlin America in 1983 and in the same year Meat Loaf asked him to write some songs for his new album. It led to a fateful meeting with John Wolff, who was tour manager for The Who. Foreseeing the initial demise of The Who, Wolff was looking for a new venture and considered Parr to be a suitable partner. Parr first visited America in 1984 and worked with Meat Loaf on Bad Attitude. Meanwhile, Wolff secured Parr’s solo Atlantic recording deal in New York.
