She's a fast love professional
Crafty, bold and beautiful
Stage right, locked eyes, I swear it's magical
Her name is Melanie, says she digs my melody
Likes how I move, thinks I'm cool, that's what she says to me
Big stage, bright light, short love, long night
Frequent flies through the skies to some stars
I come back to town, she's hangin' around
But still feels so real but it can't go too far

Her favorite colors be platinum and gold!
She only loves in stereo! she only loves in stereo!
I should know 'cause I've seen it before
I think I gotta let her go, she only loves in stereo!
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh

Turn on the video, oh my goodness there she goes
Now I'm hot, seems I'm not, the only one she knows
Name dropping everyday, I still want her anyway
I like how she moves, think she's cool my favorite get away

Big stage, bright light, short love, long night
Deja vu yeah we'll do it again, off to the next town
She's onto the next round
Let it go, we both know that its all gonna end oh

Her favorite colors be platinum and gold
She only loves in stereo she only loves in stereo
I should know cause I've seen it before
I think I gotta let her go, she only loves in stereo
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh

She fell in love with the radio
Wasn't really me, so I had to let her go
Just ask any DJ back in her hotel
She likes to get around
As much as she gets down

Her favorite colors be platinum and gold
She only loves in stereo, she only loves in stereo
I should know 'cause I've seen it before
I think I gotta let her go, she only loves in stereo
Oh oh, oh oh
She loves in stereo
Oh oh, oh oh
She loves in stereo
Oh oh, oh oh
She loves in stereo
Oh oh, oh oh
She loves in stereo
Oh, oh oh, oh oh!
