Kooymans) I’ve been drivin’ all night, my hand’s wet on the wheel There’s a voice in my head that drives my heel It’s my baby callin’, says I need you here And it’s half past four and I’m shifting gear When she’s lonely and the longing gets too much She sends a cable comin’ in from above We 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 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 When I get lonely, and I’m sure I’ve had enough She sends her comfort, comin’ in from above Don’t need no radio at all We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love We’ve got a line in the sky, radar love 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 Ah, one more radar lover’s gone When I’m feeling lonely and I’m sure I’ve had enough She sends the comfort coming in from above Don’t need no radio at all We got a thing that’s called radar love We got a line in the sky We got a thing that’s called radar love We got a thing that’s called... radar love
