[Chorus: Ne-Yo]
I'm so sick of love songs, so tired✦ of tears
So done with wishin,✦ you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?✦
[Verse 3: Ne-Yo]
Gotta✦ fix that calender I have, that's marked✦ July✦ 15th
Because since there's✦ no more you, there's✦ no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you, and your memory✦
And how every✦ song reminds me of what used✦ to be; that's the reason✦
[Chorus: Ne-Yo]
I'm so sick of love songs, so tired✦ of tears
So done with wishin,✦ you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?✦
[Interlude: Ne-Yo]
(Leave me alone)✦ Leave me alone✦
(Stupid✦ love songs) Don't make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
I'm lettin✦ go, turnin✦ off the radio✦
[Verse 4: LL Cool J]
I'mma✦ keep you equipped in all of the best whips
Pay attention to detail, even✦ your lipstick
Give compliments when your pedicure switch
When we on the mattress, you won't care if I'm rich
I'll love you deeply,✦ whisper sweetly
Even✦ when you critique me, you can still reach me
Beats me why you sweeter than a peach be
One bite's✦ enough sugar for the whole night
You'll be aight, you rollin✦ with the Elvis✦ of rap
C'mon, move your pelvis✦ and throw it back
I know it's forward and it sounds a little blunt
But love money✦ respect, whatever, pick what you want
[Interlude:✦ Ne-Yo] That's the reason✦
[Chorus: Ne-Yo]
I'm so sick of love songs, so tired✦ of tears
So done with wishin,✦ you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?✦
[Interlude:✦ Ne-Yo] Said
[Chorus: Ne-Yo]
I'm so sick of love songs, so tired✦ of tears
So done with wishin,✦ you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?✦
[Interlude:✦ Ne-Yo] And
[Chorus: Ne-Yo]
I'm so sick of love songs, so tired✦ of tears
So done with wishin,✦ you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?✦
[Outro: Ne-Yo]
Why can't I turn off the radio?✦
{*scratched: "To the beat y'all"*}
