Heard a Song On the Radio

Heard a song on the radio Sounded real cool ‘Bout being calm in a cruel world ‘Bout being nobody’s fool But it’s a give and a take world Everyone’s keeping score I try to be real interested But lately I’m real bored I’m missing some heart strings I feel so out of tune All I’m thinking lately is “I wanna see ya real soon!” We would go to the movies Smoke lots of cigarettes “I’ll be there next month babe!” But I’m not placing no bets I heard a song on the radio Sounded real fine ‘Bout being cold in a cruel world You know girl, it’s a thin line I spent a long time thinking I always had the right words But there a hush in my heart now And I sound a little absurd You gotta learn how to give girl You gotta learn how to feel You gotta learn how to live girl You gotta learn how to heal I heard a song on the radio Sounded real sad Thought about all the tears shed Started feeling real bad But I’ve learn how to give in a take world So I quess I’m gonna be fine I’m just wanna learn how to laugh more While I’m just passing my time I heard a song on the radio Sounded real cool Alex Nelson Circa Early ‘90’s
