Oh what a sunny day
When they carried the radio home
Bringing him in off of the truck
And the dogs wouldn't leave us alone
Mr. Radio
Come down here to keep us company
We listen in a room
Through the miles and miles of night
Deep in the heart of the Bible Belt
In the golden radio light
Mr. Radio
Come down here to keep us company
And it's hard days out in the field
The crows in the high tree top
If the man's away from his home all day
His chickens might fall to the fox
Mr. Radio
What can you do about that uh huh
And you can take me down to a river town
Where the citizens dance till dawn
Dance so close it's a sin almost
The way they carry on
Mr. Radio
I never dreamed you could
And it's miles at the careless touch
Of a tired hand in time
When evening fell I heard a stranger sell
Dreams that were never mine
Mr. Radio
Come down here to keep us company
I can tell by the way you've been turning men down
Not your ordinary guy is gonna do
You've been waitin' for that someone
Who can turn your head around
Well now honey, I'm that special one for you
There must be a million fish out in that ocean
So you must find the one that's right for you somehow
Well, it's up to you, I'm here for years
Or 'till the night-time disappears
I'm Mr. Right or Mr. Right now
And if you'd choose to be my wife
I would love you all my life
I'd do everything your precious heart allowed
Or we could make love all night long
And in the morning I'd be gone
I'm Mr. Right or Mr. Right now
There must be a million fish out in that ocean
So you must find the one that's right for you somehow
Well, it's up to you, I'm here for years
Or 'till the night-time disappears
I'm Mr. Right or Mr. Right now
I'm Mr. Right forever or just until whenever
Hello, Mr. Radio, you friendly station,
So glad of your company, your morning music,
My wife she ran away, she left our home,
And though you're here with me, I'm on my own.
Hello, Mr. Radio, you friendly speaker,
You played my request today, request to see her
Your voice comes riding home across the air,
You travel 'round the world, but still you're here.
I heard on the news today the world is no good,
But if she returns today mine could be so good
I look into the sky, your waves rush by,
The weather man has lied, it makes me cry.
Hello, Mr. Radio, do I disturb you?
Sometimes I forget my place, I seem to know you
I miss you when you close, you'll never know,
And when your programmes go, I'm on my own.
Oh, what a sunny day
When they carried the radio home
Bringing him in off the truck
And the dogs wouldn't leave us alone
Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company
We listen in a room
Through the miles and miles of night
Deep in the heart of the Bible belt
In the golden radio light
Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company
And it's hard days out in the field
The crows in the high tree top
If a man's away from his home all day
His chickens might fall to the fox
Mr. Radio, what can you do about that?
Uh huh
And you can take me down to a river town
Where the citizens dance till dawn
They dance so close it's a sin almost
The way they carry on
Mr. Radio, I never dreamed you could
And it's miles at the careless touch
Of a tired hand in time
When evening fell I heard a strange sell
Dreams that were never mine
Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company
Put on your dancing boots, button up your white suit
Tip your hat and swing your cane, just like Mr. Hard
Get your swagger on, make your entrance long
Your singing in the rain, just like Mr. Hard
Shoot out a killer glance, your too cool to dance
Sipping cocktails from afar, just like Mr. Hard
I'm a clockwork toy, wind me up and get some joy
Sipping cocktails from afar, just like Mr. Hard
The crowd will part for you, do what you want them to
Lead the cavalcade, just like Mr. Hard
Life is a cabaret for me and my friend Sherrie
Are in the spot light now, just like Mr. Hard
Shoot out a killer glance, oh your too cool to dance
Sipping cocktails from afar, just like Mr. Hard
You can take that centre stage, and become all the rage
Have you got that taste, just like Mr. Hard
Put on your dancing boots, put on your dancing boots
Put on your dancing boots, just like Mr. Hard
Chew out a killer glance, oh your too cool to dance
Sipping cocktails from afar, just like Mr. Hard
Life is a cabaret, so get your swagger on
Button up your white suit, tip your hat and swing your
cane
Put on your dancing boots, put on your white suit
Bring around your entourage, just like Mr. Hard
I will lead the cavalcade and the crowd will part for
And you can take the stage, just like Mr. hard
Yeh' let me tell ya, OK, just like Mr. Hard
Put on your dancing boots, put on your white suit
Just like Mr. hard, tip your hat and swing your cane
When the conversation turns, always has the right remark
Eyes that pierce into your soul and teeth that glisten in the dark
Every touch a warm caress, every movement filled with grace
And letter-perfect love cliches, welcome almost every place
Chorus: Every mother's perfect catch, every maiden's shining knight
Dropped out of some fairy tale, for their salvation
A dream creation, call him Mr. Right
Just like colored Christmas lights, keeps his ladies on a string
Every time they start to fade, he turns them on like anything
Swears his vast undying love until she makes that sweet surrender
And by the time they've sobered up she's just another lost-weekender
Chorus
With a sizzle in his touch, and passion flowers in his eyes
They won't get to see too much of what is under his disguise
So take the words of warning here, the reason for this little song
If you give in to Mr. Right, you'll find that you're his Mrs. wrong
I says hey old mother-fixed balding boy
Here's one good goon that we can't blame
Hey they all cry
Here's one for the fruit-bin
Look at him, look at him, look, look, look
La la la
Twas a shrivelled fruit on a wrinkled
Sack sack sack
Thinks my god, did I marry
That that that?
She canned that marriage
Out of sight
When she found a testicle
In the mouth of Mr Right
Look at him, look at him, look, look, look
La la la
I says hey old mother-fixed balding boy
Here's one good goon that we can't blame
Hey they all cry
Here's one for the fruit-bin
Look at him, look at him, look, look, look
La la la
Twas a shrivelled fruit on a wrinkled
Sack sack sack
Thinks my god, did I marry
That that that?
Look at him, look at him, look, look, look
Look at him, look at him
Oh Mr Reed, do you mind I didn't notice
I could see, that you had both feet, not quite on the ground
Oh Mr Reed, do you think I didn't see you
Crying in the foyer, after midnight, by the telephone booth
Men, trapped in their own web
Men, with power but no friends
Men, who make demands with the future in their hands
Are fragile, I know know
Oh Mr Reed, why did you start to look away
I was asking a very important question, about your life
Oh Mr Reed, you know I'm trying to explain, that there's
Something, about you, I quite like
Men trapped in their own web
Men with power but no friends
Men locked in their own head
Men so easily lead
Oh Mr Reed... (instrumental)
Oh Mr Reed, I'm trying to explain, that there's
Something about you I quite like
Men, never know
Men, their egos show
Men, just can't let go
May your heart be never alone when
The dawn's breaking
May your life be a rolling stone when
The ground starts shaking
And the world is waking
All I can tell you is to know who you are
And if they hurt you they can never do you harm
And if you want to you can love 'em till
The cold turns warm
May your kiss always feel like the first kisses
And may your truth help you heal
May you catch big fishes and get all your wishes
All I can tell you is to know who you are...
If you want me (I will be there)
If you need me (I will be there)
If you want me (I will be there)
Can you hear me?
If you're waiting (I will be there)
Your heart's aching (I will be there)
If you need me (I will be there)
Can you hear me?
And when you're lonely (I will be there)
When you call me (I will be there)
If you need me (I will be there)
Believe me I'm going nowhere
She's the one that made me change
Blind in love it feeds my brain
I don't belong
I can't convince myself of this
Alone you walk all over my heart
And rip my soul of every part
I'm like a dog
You left me to die in the alley of my home
Away from home
You're beggin' for riotousness
I beg to feed it
Iyr faith so blind
So close to fake
We'll need to seize
To heal an old disease
I could be wrong this time
But I know in my soul that a cold war
Is one bitter pill
A sandstone wall
In the last four hours of light
You wanna leave another city behind
Your bags are gettin' heavy
You can't believe you couldn't charm Mr. Right
You let your ego get away
Holdin' a dream
You spilled it out on the line
You wannna leave another city behind
Your bags are gettin' heavy
You can't believe
You couldn't charm Mr. Right
You let your ego get away
Holdin' a dream
Last night I woke up from a dream
Too bad I never fell asleep
I heard you when you said, "Take care,"
"I'm worried about you, it's not fair..."
But you can't say, "I told you so,"
You never made me feel so low
I understand you're warning me
But when I close my eyes, you're all I see...
And now I think that it's all passed
Your concerns just left me so fast
I realized that you don't care
You're god-damn right that's just not fair...
I can't hear you
I can't feel you
I can't reach you
Now some people call me
The R&B;, hippie, neo soul, rockstar
And others they call me
Mr. Grammy nominated, BET award winning
The hustler, hustler, Radio Raheem, Raheem
Mr. DeVaughn, even confused it with Devine
But baby, you can just call me, Mr. Right
Hold up, let me stop you there before you go further
I know that you been hearing that I ain't no good
I'm a player, I'm a flirt, a heart breaker, even worse
Don't you date him, you'll get hurt
Oh girl, yes, I did my dirt but now
I'm all cleaned up and ready for love
Don't stop before we start it
Baby, let me show you where my heart is
If you let me be your Mr. Right

'Cause everything's subjected to change

I changed up my act, I ain't goin' back
Oh girl, yes, I did my dirt but
But, but, I done cleaned the old me up
Don't stop before we start it

For every new tomorrow
Season after season

To wanna be a changed man

My girlfriend's got a boyfriend, funny
He doesn't make a dime all day
And all her girlfriends' boyfriends make money
What more can I say?
It's true
He never made it through a day of school
The only thing he studied was you
He knows your body better than you do
Maybe I'm your Mr. Right
Baby, maybe I'm the one you like
Maybe I'm a shot in the dark
And you're the morning light, whoa
Maybe this is sad but true
Baby, maybe you've got nothing to lose
You could be the best of me
When I'm the worst for you
My girlfriend's got a boyfriend
Running to catch the bus to meet
To meet up with the boyfriend's girlfriend
Who's stunning, she's such a sight to see
It's true
The moment he laid eyes on you he knew
The only wish he wanted came true
He knows he's lucky that he met someone like you
Maybe I'm your Mr. Right
Baby, maybe I'm the one you like
Maybe I'm a shot in the dark
And you're the morning light, whoa
Maybe this is sad but true
Baby, maybe you've got nothing to lose
You could be the best of me
When I'm the worst for you
You can always change your mind
And you can't change mine
No, you can't change mine
Maybe I'm your Mr. Right
Baby, maybe I'm the one you like
Maybe I'm a shot in the dark
And you're the morning light, whoa
Maybe this is sad but true
Baby, maybe you've got nothing to lose
You could be the best of me
When I'm the worst for you
[Whoa Oh Oh Oh]
Whoa Oh Oh oh
Verse
No I've never been ashamed
Or afraid to speak my mind
I'm the type of girl
That's gonna' say what I don't like
I know I can be a handful
Sometimes I run my mouth
I'm used to being in control
Decide on what goes down
Well I met my match
Plus your more of a man
Than I ever had (Ooh Ooh Ooh)
This table's turned and
I can't find the words
To describe how good it hurts
Chorus
You are
(You are)
My Mr. Right
(You got me weak, you got me weak, you got me weak)
I can't even fight
(Oh Oh Oh)
One touch and I'm paralyzed
(I can't think, I can't move, I can't speak)
And I'm convinced your love is mine
Mr. Right (You got me weak, you got me weak)
Mr. Right (Can't move, I can't think, I can't speak)
Mr. Right (You got me weak, you got me weak)
Mr. Right (Can't move, I can't think, I can't speak)
Verse 2
My defenses are so useless
I don't even have the power
I'm falling more for you with every minute, every hour
My friends will find it funny
If they could see me now
Cause there'll so used to me running the show
When I'm around
Yes I met my match (Oh)
[ From: ]
Plus your more of a man (Oh)
Than I ever had (Ooh Ooh Ooh)
This table's turned (Oh)
And I can't find the words (Oh)
To describe how good it hurts
Chorus:
You are
(You are)
My Mr. Right
(You got me weak, you got me weak, you got me weak)
I can't even fight
(Oh Oh Oh)
One touch and I'm paralyzed
(I can't think, I can't move, I can't speak)
And I'm convinced your love is mine
Mr. Right (You got me weak, you got me weak)
Mr. Right (Can't move, I can't think, I can't speak)
Mr. Right (You got me weak, you got me weak)
Mr. Right (Can't move, I can't think, I can't speak)
Bridge
I'm changing my ways
Maybe I'll get in
You might be the man
Mr. Right, Mr. Right
Chorus
You are
(You are)
My Mr. Right
You got me weak, you got me weak, you got me weak)
And I can't even fight
(Oh Oh Oh)
One touch and I'm mesmerized
(I can't think, I can't move, I can't speak)
I'm convinced your love is mine
Mr. Right (You got me weak, you got me weak)
Mr. Right (I can't move, I can't eat, I can't sleep)
Mr. Right (You got me weak, you got me weak)
Talk about a man's lips
Talk about a man's hands
Talk about a man's eyes
Talk about a woman's lips
Talk about a woman's breasts
Talk about a woman's thighs
Those are things so beautiful
But is there more than physical?
Isn't love much deeper?
Write a song that's spiritual
Write about a lover's soul
Tough love's much sweeter
Thank you for your tone to make love to
I heard it before
Thank you for your love song Mr. Radio
Thank you for your lullabye
It makes love look so easy
Thank you for your love song Mr. Radio
Talk about bad times
Talk about a sweet kiss
Talk about hot nights
Talk about making love
Talk about naked love
Talk about love lifes
What about the crazy fights
What about the sleepless nights
What about a brother's ego (ego)
What about the sacred vows
How do lover's work it out
There's much more than the tingle
See i know sometimes
Lovers go crazy
A smile and some lingerie can
make it right
And I know some fights
I remember when I cut your hair
I took it to the bone
But I think I nicked your head
With your beautiful eyes
You just smiled and said
Let's have a lovely pint son
A bag of cheese and onion crisps
Oh Mr Read
Oh Mr Read
(oh-oh-oh...)
It's so hard to let you go
It's so hard to let you go
I know you had to leave Mr Read
Yeah I love ya, yeah I love you so much
I'll always love you cos I love you so much
I know you had to leave Mr Read
I remember when you touched my face
You had such healing hands
A working man with grace
I came home but I had to take the plane
I know you had to go Gramps but I wish I'd seen your face
Oh Mr Read
Oh Mr Read
(oh-oh-oh...)
It's so hard to let you go
It's so hard to let you go
I know you had to leave me Mr Read
Yeah I love ya, yeah I love you so much
I'll always love you cos I love you so much
I know you had to leave Mr Read
I know that you know
I know that you know
Just how much I love ya
Beautiful Mr Read
Mr Read
Yeah I love ya, yeah I love you so much
I'll always love you cos I love you so much
Cooler Blick, bin verzückt, abgefahrn
Und ich spür wie es mich kickt
Ich schau dir beim Tanzen zu
Locker, lässig, cooler Flow, langsam
Step by step, hab's gecheckt, kommst du ran
Tanzt dich näher Stück für Stück
Ich kann deine Hitze spürn
Will dich einmal mehr verführn, langsam
Mr. Right, Mr. Right, ich will deine Lady sein
Mr. Right, Mr. Right, komm tanz nur mit mir allein
Mr. Right, Mr. Right
Mr. Right, Mr. Right
Up and down, kannst dich traun, Bodytalk
Worte brauchen wir nicht mehr
Küssen uns im Neonlicht
Und es hält was es verspricht, langsam
Step by step, hab's gecheckt, traust du dich?
Lass mich fallen und will mehr
Herzschutzfaktor abbestellt
Ich vergess die ganze Welt, langsam
Mr. Right, Mr. Right, ich will deine Lady sein
Mr. Right, Mr. Right, komm tanz nur mit mir allein
Mr. Right, Mr. Right
Mr. Right, Mr. Right
Mr. Right, Mr. Right, ich will deine Lady sein
Mr. Right, Mr. Right, komm tanz nur mit mir allein
Mr. Right, Mr. Right, ich will deine Lady sein
Mr. Right, Mr. Right, komm tanz nur mit mir allein
Mr. Right, Mr. Right
Mr. Right, Mr. Right
Who that dude sleepin' with ya girlfriend?
Gettin' nude and rude in your bed
Same dude that your sister like
Mickey Avalon, call me Mr. Right
Who that man in a black Sedan?
With two cheap hookers and a Mexican
Fuck the white line, sippin' one Coors light
Mickey Avalon, call me Mr. Right
Stab on the ave, on the back of green grass
Young teen on the scene, no future, no past
I don't know nothin' 'bout nothin' so don't ask nothin'
'Cause I only be talkin' out my ass
Somethin' smells fishy and I don't know what
But I got a hunch it's your lady
I'm little bit country and a little bit punk
I got a pistol named Sunny that whistles when he's rubbed
The wrong way, Mickey Avalon song playing
Strip clubs [Incomprehensible] Bumante
Illiterate, I seen a better day
Wine and cheese, fine ladies and lemonade
Gettin' paid for rhymes like these
And I never even learned to say my ABC's
With ADD I rock the beat
Like AC/DC, please turn sheet
Who that dude sleepin' with ya girlfriend?
Gettin' nude and rude in your bed
Same dude that your sister like
Mickey Avalon, call me Mr. Right
Who that man in a black Sedan?
With two cheap hookers and a Mexican
Fuck the white line, sippin' one Coors light
Mickey Avalon, call me Mr. Right
Radio can't wait to play me
From K-Rock in L.A. to rooftops in Haiti
Hey baby, he's Mr. Wrong
And maybe you should listen to the words in this song
Bird on a wire, your skirt's on fire
Now please take a moment to admire my attire
Fresh white valleys and pink tube socks
Tight gray Levi's and shirts with polka dots
Rolex watch but it's fake
Gold gazelle glasses and a platinum chain
But it's fake like your tits
And your eyes, and your nose, and your lips, and your braids
The glitz in L.A. got me ready to play
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any day
Every night on the strip I slip and slide
I'm that guy, call me Mr. Right
Who that dude sleepin' with ya girlfriend?
Gettin' nude and rude in your bed
Same dude that your sister like
Mickey Avalon, call me Mr. Right
Who that man in a black Sedan?
With two cheap hookers and a Mexican
Fuck the white line, sippin' one Coors light
Mickey Avalon, call me Mr. Right
Sparkling shadows all around
In my soul that whispering sound
Bring back my glamour, once so proud
Forgotten in a sleeping shape
A bleeding mind, so sad above
Despise the life and rule my fate
I'd rather die, than feel that hating love
An angel, drowned in shadows pale
A rotten sculpture a forgotten tale
A fire, that flickered in that heart
Got torn by dreams so far apart.
Caress me into that burning sleep
With broken wings and mortal vain
I have that poison secret
Will fly away and disappear in pain
Abused flesh and betrayed mind
For the one who was too blind
Try to escape but too late
Memories of a divided heart
An angel, drowned in shadows pale
A rotten sculpture a forgotten tale
Who I think I am, is that really who I am?
A million questions travel through my mind
The cryptic writings on the wall
In un-comprehensive shapes
Like a small player
In the greatest of games I stand
Sparkling shadows all around
In my soul that whispering sound
Bring back my glamour, once so proud
Forgotten in a sleeping shape
A bleeding mind, so sad above
Despise the life and rule my fate
I'd rather die, than feel that hating love
In this mirror, all I see
A fading image that isn't me
Am I a master of my will?
Intro:
Cinderella looking for the right fella
Snow white looking for Mr. Right
Verse 1:
All my life
I've believed
There's someone out there
God has for me
And someone
God has me for
In a matter of time
He'll be at my door
Our love would be true
A man for who
I'd fall deeply in love
What I've always dreamed of
Everything I want in a man
According to God's plan
Chorus:
Cinderella looking for the right fella
Snow white looking for Mr. Right
That only happens in the books
The real thing isn't as easy as it looks
He will be
The man for me
Mr. right
Come into my life
Verse 2:
I wonder what it would be like
If I met Mr. Right
If God grants me life
And I became his wife
Will I know when we meet
Will he sweep me off my feet
Not on a whim
Will I know it's him
Repeat chorus
Rap:
I'm talking to you
In what you're going through
You think you do
But you don't know who
You want a man with a plan
To take you by the hand
And be everything you've wanted in a man
You're not gonna meet Mr. Right
In the club down the street
So stop wasting your time being indiscreet
It doesn't matter
If he's rich or poor
This is what I'm looking for
Money doesn't matter as far as I see
Love is what matters to me
He could own the business
Or work on staff
I'm looking for someone that will make me laugh
Someone with good judgment
But how good could his judgment be
If he's dating me
(I'm kidding)
Bridge:
He's got to be
The one for me
You say I'm just a friend, and thats a rule we couldn't bend,
I'm done with trying to pretend.
Now it's strictly metaphor, Now i'm onto something more, I'm stuck in the middle of two doors.
All this time that I've been waiting,
Mixed and matched and rearranging, you might,
be my Mr. Right.
You and I been friends forever,
never thought that you would ever be my,
be my Mr. Right.
Mr. Right X3
My best friend is my Mr. Right
I've known you all my life,
you were always by my side.
It's getting way too hard to hide it.
Talk for hours on the phone,
until I hear the dial tone.
I wonder if you've ever known...
All this time that I've been waiting,
Mixed and matched and rearranging, you might,
be my Mr. Right.
You and I been friends forever,
never thought that you would ever be my,
be my Mr. Right.
Mr. Right X3
My best friend is my Mr. Right
Nobody knows you,
better than I do.
I just wanna be with you.
All this time that I've been waiting,
Mixed and matched and rearranging, you might,
be my Mr. Right.
You and I been friends forever,
never thought that you would ever be my,
be my Mr. Right.
All this time that I've been waiting,
Mixed and matched and rearranging, you might,
be my Mr. Right.
You and I been friends forever,
never thought that you would ever be my,
be my Mr. Right.
Mr. Right X3
My father taught me how
I would have to set myself straight
My father told me how
I would get myself right
Right
It's not that easy
My father taught me how
To tell what is wrong and what's right
My father taught me chasing a buck
Isn't always a noble mans fight
Right
It's not that easy
It's not that easy
Righ right right
Get yourself right
My father taught me how
I would have to zip it up tight
My father told me how
I would have to get myself right
You know you have to get ready
Don't you know revolution is coming get ready
I'm not mister right
But I'll settle for mister right now
So here I am tonight
Pulling all the stops just like the night before
Emptier the words I speak
I swear the game gets easier by the day
I'm so concerned
Cosmo's never been so true
While you watch for all the signs
Of all the things that I will do.
Last call is right around the corner and I
Think there's something you should know
About me
Lets stop wasting all our time
Cause tonight you're gonna be mine
I'm not mister right
But I'll settle for mister right now
And I know I could do better
But my prospects are wearing too thin
They're wearing too thin
It's time to react.
And by now my confidence is rolling at will
You can't resist this so I'll try to take advantage
Of every single weakness you have
I'm not mister right. But I'll settle for mister right
And I know I could do better
But my prospects are wearing too thin
They're wearing too thin
Last call is right around the corner
And I think there's something you should know

Lets stop wasting all our time
Cause tonight your gunna be mine
