WKRP In Cincinnati
Steve Carlisle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Baby, if you've ever wondered
Wondered whatever became of me
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati
Cincinnati, WKRP
Got kind of tired
Of packing and unpacking
Town to town
Maybe you and me
Were never meant to be
Just maybe think of me
Once in awhile
Heading up that highway
Leaving you behind
Hardest thing I ever had to do
Broke my heart in two
But, baby, pay no mind
The price for finding me
Was losing you
Memories help me hide
My lonesome feeling
Far away from you
And feeling low
It's geting late, my friend
My love, I miss you so
Take good care of you
I've gotta go
Baby, if you've ever wondered
Wondered whatever became of me
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati
Cincinnati, WKRP
Got kind of tired
Of packing and unpacking
Town to town
Up and down the dial
Maybe you and me
Were never meant to be
Just maybe think of me
Once in awhile
I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati

Baby, if you've ever wondered
If you've ever thought about where I ended up
Wondered whatever became of me
Wondered what my life turned out like
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati
I have a job in radio in Cincinnati
Cincinnati, WKRP
The radio station I work at in Cincinnati is called WKRP
Got kind of tired
Became exhausted
Of packing and unpacking
From moving frequently
Town to town
Going from one place to another
Up and down the dial
Traveling on the radio waves
Maybe you and me
Perhaps we
Were never meant to be
Were not destined to be together
Just maybe think of me
Occasionally remember me
Once in awhile
Every so often
Heading up that highway
Driving up the road
Leaving you behind
Departing from you
Hardest thing I ever had to do
Most difficult action I ever took
Broke my heart in two
Heartfelt deeply saddened, hurt
But, baby, pay no mind
Please don't worry about me
The price for finding me
The cost of finding myself
Was losing you
Was having to let go of you
Memories help me hide
Recollections help me conceal
My lonesome feeling
My sense of loneliness
Far away from you
Removed from your presence
And feeling low
And feeling down
It's geting late, my friend
It's becoming late
My love, I miss you so
I miss you deeply
Take good care of you
Take care of yourself
I've gotta go
I have to leave
