Radio Romance

Everyone nowadays tends to regard Tiffany as a one hit wonder, as the only song anyone seems to remember of hers is "I Think We're Alone Now". Not true though, she also had a huge hit with this number back in the late 80's. I bought her Greatest Hits CD specifically to get this tune, as I couldn't find it on mp3 at the time.

It is a very optimistic song I think, in that the singer is requesting a song on a late night radio station every night, in the hope that the man she loves (who is her best friends partner) hears it. I'd go as far as to say that it is hopelessly optimistic as this bloke would not only have to figure out that the song is intended for him, but who the anonymous requester was. I do have to admire the sentiment that while she covets the man her best friend has, the singer is unwilling to try stealing him away by letting it be known how she feels about him. A strange kind of loyalty there.

Radio Romance by Tiffany

From who?
Ahh, just say from...
From the one who loves you baby

I see you baby
Every single day
Holding on to my best friend
But you don’t see me
So I make the same request now
Every single night
Going out from me to you
On the dedication line
I wonder if you’re listening
To the words that keep me wishing
That one day I’ll be kissing you

Oh wo wo

My secret admiration
I won’t reveal
I wouldn’t want to hurt no one
By tellin’ how I feel
The DJ knows my voice now
He even knows my choice now
He never says my name
He just says from the one
Who loves you baby

One night you’ll hear a song
And then you’ll know just who it’s from

I see you baby, every single day
Holding on to my best friend
But you don’t see me
I wonder if you’re listening
To the words that keep me wishing
That one day I’ll be kissing you

Oh wo wo
