She's got a smile so sweet
It's every little thing for my head down to her feet
Out of the magazine
And I see her on the TV

I love the song she sings
'Cause when I turn around it's like she singing to me
And every word she means
Like it could be about me (it could be about me)

She's sounds to me
She's sounds like sex on the radio
I love to hear her scream
And when I push play she's screaming in stereo

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She sounds like sex on the radio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She put sex on the radio, sex on the radio

I know that we would meet
At one of those shows they do for the radio
And when she looked at me
All I said was hello (all I said was hello)

I took her out to eat
'Cause we were in a city that neither one of us knew
We never went to sleep
'Cause when the sun came up, we knew that we would have to go

She's sounds to me
She's sounds like sex on the radio
I love to hear her scream
And when I push play she's screaming in stereo

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She sounds like sex on the radio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She put sex on the radio, sex on the radio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She sounds like sex on the radio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She put sex on the radio, sex on the radio

I've got to admit, this feeling's legit
I don't wanna stop and she don't want me to quit
But she gets a little nervous for what we do,
Scare what they would say,
What they would talk about if they knew

Heard her sing a song and I knew that she would write about it
Saw her in a magazine, I knew that she could keep it quite
Keep it in the sheets, the radio the beats
Between you and me, we'll throw away the key

She's sounds to me
She's sounds like sex on the radio
I love to hear her scream
And when I push play she's screaming in stereo

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She sounds like sex on the radio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She put sex on the radio, sex on the radio

She sounds to me
She sounds like sex on the radio
Feels like to me
She sounds like sex on the radio
