Dear Mr. Popstar, you're my only friend When they played you on the radio It changed everything, gave me hope when I was hopeless See, I had a girlfriend, she left me like you When I heard that in your lyrics, man I felt it too, and it's hard times Hiding from daylight I'm reading your lines like the guy on the street is reading the Bible And I'm getting high on all the melodies that you sing Turn it up, turn it up, put the stereo on I was lost in the dark, found myself in your song When I listen, I can't escape for just a while Turn it up, turn it up, now I'm singing along I was feeling out of touch, like I didn't belong You should know that, all of your words, they pulled me through I'm so glad I got a friend like you Dear Mr. Popstar, wherever you're at I heard your song, missing home About your mom and your dad, you're just like me I moved away to the city I listened to your sad song, girl on the plane Didn't make the same mistake and now she's taking my name Wanna thank you, for everything you do Turn it up, turn it up, put the stereo on I was lost in the dark, found myself in your song When I listen, I can't escape for just a while Turn it up, turn it up, now I'm singing along I was feeling out of touch, like I didn't belong You should know that, all of your words, they pulled me through I'm so glad I got a friend like you I'm so glad I got a friend like you I'm reading your lines like the guy on the street is reading the Bible And I'm getting high on all the melodies that you sing Whenever you're down, just know I'm dancing To your song that showed me how to love again My dear friend Turn it up, turn it up, put the stereo on I was lost in the dark, found myself in your song When I listen, I can't escape for just a while Turn it up, turn it up, now I'm singing along I was feeling out of touch, like I didn't belong You should know that, all of your words, they pulled me through I'm so glad I got a friend like you I'm so glad I got a friend like you I'm glad I got a friend like you
