[Intro]
Put me on the cover, oh, oh
Play me on the radio, oh, oh
Put me on the cover, oh, oh
Play me on the radio, radio
[Verse 1]
Have you ever met someone made you feel like a no one?
When you look in the mirror, all you want is to change
I was in it for too long, how could I be so wrong?
Thinking I don't deserve it, I was so nervous, the lights on the stage
[Pre-Chorus]
But now it's all over
[Chorus]
Put me on the cover, play me on the radio
Wanna show my love that you did not let me go
Find a pretty boy to kiss in all my videos
I don't want him back but I still want him to know
[Post-Chorus]
That, ooh, for all those nights I cried
There's no pain left to hide
This heart is only mine
[Verse 2]
Have you ever been lucky? Dressed up looking lonely?
Bumped into your ex, they sent you a text, like "How are you doing?"
It's too late for flirting, for all of the hurting
And now that you're earning what you deserve it feels like revenge
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause now it's all over
[Chorus]
Put me on the cover, play me on the radio
Wanna show my love that you did not let me go
Find a pretty boy to kiss in all my videos
I don't want him back but I still want him to know
[Post-Chorus]
That, ooh, for all those nights I cried
There's no pain left to hide
This heart is only mine
[Bridge]
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
And I don't want you to forget
I'll sing about the day we met
But you're not over me yet
Just put me
[Chorus]
Put me on the cover, play me on the radio
Wanna show my love that you did not let me go
Find a pretty boy to kiss in all my videos
I don't want him back but I still want him to know
[Post-Chorus]
That, ooh, for all those nights I cried
There's no pain left to hide
This heart is only mine
[Outro]
Play me on the radio, radio
