[Verse 1] I've been driving all night My hands wet on the wheel There's a voice in my head that drives my heel It's my baby calling Says "I need you here" And it's half past four and I'm shifting gear [Hook] When she's lonely and the longing gets too much She sends a cable coming in from above Don't need no phone at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a wave in the air Radar Love [Verse 2] The radio's playing some forgotten song Brenda Lee's "Coming on Strong" The road has got me hypnotized And I'm speeding into a new sunrise [Hook] When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough She sends her comfort coming in from above Don't need no letter at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a line in the sky Radar Love [Verse 3] No more speed I'm almost there Gotta keep cool now gotta take care Last car to pass here I go And the line of cars drove down real slow And the radio played that forgotten song Brenda Lee's "Coming on Strong" And the newsman sang his same song One more radar love is gone [Hook] When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough She sends her comfort coming in from above Don't need no letter at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a line in the sky Radar Love [Outro] We've got a thing that's called Radar Love We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
