Esperanza Spalding, American Music Program - Radio Song lyrics

La la la la la la la la

Right now you need it
Driving yourself through the hard times
Traffic won't speed up
So you turn the radio on
(La la la la la la la la)
But, it's the same old stuff
That makes you yawn
(La la la la la la la la)
Well somehow he feels it and the
DJ here at the station
Sends sweet salvation
When he starts to play this song
Now you can't help singin' along
Even though you never heard it
You keep singin' it wrong
This song will keep you grooving
(Keep that traffic movin')
Play it to lift your spirit's
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking to you
(As if they knew you)
Ooh, this song's the one
(Keep that traffic movin')
Play it to lift your spirit's
Words are speaking to you
Ooh, this song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirit's
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking to you
(As if they knew you)
Yes, this song's the one

Even though you never heard it
You keep singing it wrong
This song's the one

And then they start mixing it up

When you're tired and scared
Of missing something
Waiting for some magic to come
And make you feel better enter that song
Now that's how we know the
Power of song can save

When you're tired and scared
Of missing something
Waiting for some magic to come
And make you feel better enter that song
Now that's how we know the
Power of song can save a song can save

Well it can surely save the
Day and keep you grooving (Keep it movin')
Play it to lift your spirit's
Words are speaking to you
Yes, this song's the one (Keep it movin')
Play it to lift your spirit's
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking to you
(As if they knew you)
Yes, this song's the one

La la la la la la la la

Smiling and driving
Sounds like soon it might be over
So you pull over
And start scrambling for a pen
But another verse comes in again
Paper in hand, you
Can't help movin' while you're listenin'
Your skin starts bristlin'
Here comes the part you know
And you can't help singing along
Even though you never heard it
And you keep singing it wrong
This song will keep you grooving
(Keeps traffic movin')
Play it to lift your spirit's
(Soon as you hear it)
The words are speaking to you
(As if they knew you)
Ooh, this song's the one
(Keeps traffic movin')
Play it to lift your spirit's
When the words are speaking to you
Ooh, this song's the one
(Keep that traffic movin')
Play it to lift your spirit's
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking to you
(As if they knew you)
Yes, this song's the one

Yes, this song's the one

Now if you want to sing it loud, with love
With love in your heart
(Play it to lift your spirit's)
Because you like to, because you need to
This song's the one

Now if you want to sing it loud, with love
With love in your heart
Because you like to, because you need to
