[English]

Plug it in, turn me on now

Your radio, your radio, oh (oh)

Oh (yeah)

P-p-plug it in and turn me on

Maybe you could sing along

Triple Platinum when we on-on-on

Let me in and touch your mind

Then replay it every night

Don't you love it when I spin that shit out?

On my radio, you already know

Spin me like a record, baby, love me like a ho

On the radio, you already know

Spin me like a record, baby

Spin that shit, oh

Said I like the pressure

Baby, it's now or never

Plug it in, turn me on

I'm your radio, your radio, oh

Said I like the pressure

Baby, it's now or never

Plug it in, turn me on

I'm your radio, your radio, oh

Plug it in and turn me on

Plug it in and turn me on-on-on

Plug it in, oh

Your radio, your radio, oh

Late night, satellite, where you wanna go?

You can crank it up, run a light, or ride it real slow

If you like what I say, you can keep it on replay

If you like what I say, you can keep it on replay

Frost Children, bitch

You're, you're on the radio, you already know

Spin me like a record, baby, love me like a ho (woo-ah)

Said I like the pressure

Baby, it's now or never

Plug it in, turn me on

I'm your radio, your radio, oh

Said I like the pressure

Baby, it's now or never

Plug it in, turn me on

I'm your radio, your radio, oh

Your radio

Plug it in and turn me on

Plug it in and turn me on-on-on

Plug it in and turn me on-on-on

Plug it in, oh

Your radio, your radio, oh

Your radio, your radio

Your radio, your radio

Your radio, your radio

Your radio, your radio

Your radio, your radio

Your radio, your radio

Your radio, your radio

Your radio, your radio, oh
