Heard it on the radio

Small town girl full of big time dreams, she had a plan, boy, she had a scheme
Fast Talking Johnny put the stars in her eyes
Tears at the airport waving goodbye
Now look what happened, I can’t believe it’s true
Everywhere I go they’re talk talk talking ‘bout you and I

I heard it on the radio
I wasn’t ready, I didn’t know until
I heard it on the radio
They said your name, it must be so

One by one and two by two
Doors opened easy - she walked right thru
Word got around about the new face in town
She blew her horn and the walls came down
The television, the nightly news
Everywhere I go they’re talk talk talking ‘bout you

I heard it on the radio
I wasn’t ready, I didn’t know until
I heard it on the radio
They said your name, it must be so

She took the world and held it in her hand
You just can’t help it when the good goes bad
She got what she wanted but she lost what she had

On the magazine cover she looks so fine
But I can remember when she used to be mine
And I heard it on the radio
Don’t wanna hear it - don’t wanna know
‘Cause I heard it on the radio

Interpretation

I'm hearing about you on the radio. You made it to the big time, and now I'm hearing about you on the radio in the news, in the magazines. You sacrificed what you had for this fame you got.  You used to be my girl, and I don't want to hear about this girl I don't even know any more.
