Tangled in the sheets
of a motel bed
Samantha paints her toenails
cherry red
And she asks me
if she can paint mine too
And I say
Samantha anythin' for you
And through
the tinny speakers
of an ancient radio
The all night love line
begins another show
And the callers call in
But the thing that's so strange
It's all the same story
just the voices that change
On Beau's all night
radio love line
The show for hearts in despair
If you got somethin' to say
to a love that got away
Beau wants to
put you on the air
The shadows
from the headlights
of a passin' car
Turn Samantha's smile
into film noir
And she says
Don't get me wrong
About you and me
I just can't figure out
what we're supposed to be
Maybe I love you
I don't know
Maybe I'm afraid
of where you want to go
Maybe I'm scared
I'll lose my power to amuse
And I'll wake up
alone in a bed full of blue
Just listenin' to
Beau's all night
radio love line
The show for hearts in despair
If you got somethin' to say
to a love that got away
Beau wants to
put you on the air
And Beau's really thinkin'
This job hardly pays
But he can't figure out
how to ask for a raise
Meanwhile back on the
love line he says
You're on the air
Caller number nine
Samantha laughs
at the two of us here
And says
I got some miles on me
And you're such a kid dear
To you I'm just a ride
in an old Cadillac
But I keep on prayin'
that you'll keep comin' back
Is that Samantha cryin'
Or just somebody on
Beau's all night
radio love line
The show for hearts in despair
If you got somethin' to say
to a love that got away
Beau wants to
put you on the air
If you got somethin' to say
to a love that got away
Beau wants to
put you on the air
