Hey, Mr DJ, can I make a request

Somebody I love just up and left

An' if I know her, she'll drive all night alone

An' she just might have her radio on

Yeah, I pray she has her radio on


Just in case she ain't that far from town

Play somethin' that'll turn her car around

An' send it out from a fool who's done her wrong

Hey, she just might have her radio on

Yeah, I pray she has her radio on


Play somethin' that'll get her thinkin' 'bout me

Let her know I'm really sorry

Somethin' that reaches out in the dark

Weighs on her mind, tugs at her heart


Well, I know you get this all the time

Broken hearts lightin' up all the lines

Beggin' you to play that special song

Hey, but she just might have her radio on

Yeah, I pray she has her radio on


So play her somethin' that'll get her thinkin' 'bout me

Let her know I'm really sorry

Somethin' that reaches out in the dark

Weighs on her mind an' tugs at her heart


I need to make a dedication

Before that late-night signal's faded

Before she drives away too far

An' parks that damned old car


Play her somethin' that'll get her thinkin' 'bout me

Let her know I'm really sorry

Somethin' that reaches out in the dark

Weighs on her mind an' tugs at her heart

Tears up her eyes, turns round the car


Hey, Mr DJ can I make a request
