Video k**ed the radio star Video k**ed the radio star Pictures came and broke your heart Oh-a-a-a oh And now we meet in an abandoned studio We hear the playback and it seems so long ago And you remember the jingles used to go Oh-a oh You were the first one Oh-a oh You were the last one Video k**ed the radio star Video k**ed the radio star In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far Oh-a-aho oh Oh-a-aho oh Video k**ed the radio star Video k**ed the radio star In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on vtr You are a radio star You are a radio star Video k**ed the radio star Video k**ed the radio star Video k**ed the radio star Video k**ed the radio star Repeat Video k**ed the radio star (You are a radio star)
