Nelly Furtado - Shit On The Radio (Remember The Days) - 2000


you liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
well i hate to say but pop ain't going solo
you liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
but now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no
you liked me till' you seen me on your t.v.
well if you're so low below then why you watching
you say good things come to those who wait
well I've been waiting a long time for it

chorus:
i remember the days when i was 
so eager to satisfy you
and be less then i was just 
to prove i could walk beside you
now that I've flown away i see 
you've chosen to stay behind me
and still you curse the day 
i decided to stay true to myself

you say your quest is to bring it higher
well i never seen change without a fire
but from your mouth i have seen a lot of burning
but underneath i think it's a lot of yearning
your face, the colours change from green to yellow
to the point where you can't even say hello
you tell me you'd kill me if i ever snob you out
like that's what you'd expect from me, 
like that's what i'm about

chorus

bridge:
it's so much easier to stay down 
there guaranteeing you're cool
than to sit up here exposing myself 
trying to break through
than to burn in the spotlight, turn in the spitfire
scream without making a sound, be up here and not look down because we're all afraid of heights

chorus

why ya hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me 
hurt me so so, leave me down down down down 
low leave me down da down down da 
down da down down down...
shit on the radio... shit on the radio... 
shit on the radio... shit on the radio
