wouldn’t be / satisfied
on a wave / of phase
weren’t no D.J. / that was you
hey, that’s far / out
so the loud sound / did seem to know
what time it was / the lights were low
weren’t no D.J. / that was you
i leaned / may land tonight
don’t tell / a good man
that’s a dead end / he said
weren’t no D.J. / that was you
the loud sound / the lights were low
don’t waste / your time
i know / the place / of your someone
weren’t no D.J. / he told me
a lonely friday night / the lights were low
be qualified / look out
waiting / in the sky
weren’t no D.J. / it was you
the lights were low / lookin’ alright
a lonely / friday night
it’s all worthwhile / he told me
weren’t no D.J. / it was you
i asked to stay / the children boogie
i had to / if she wanted to dance
come and meet us / waiting
wouldn’t be satisfied / and i said fade
came back / ‘cause he knows
and I could never see
you heard him
don’t waste your time
switch on / i know
i ran away / she couldn’t stop crying
asked me / if we could
weren’t no D.J. / it was you
let me hurt / so bad
and I could never see
you heard him
what’s on your mind / hazy cosmic jive
on my radio / tears in her eyes
couldn’t stop cryin’ / standin’ by the bar
she was all / i thought i was
/ / /
