Here is a link to the YouTube play of the song U Rrmind Me. This will have Rush singing it so you can see if his voice is the one you're thinking of and the lyrics are right on the screen as the song plays, to compare with what you remember of it.
 @hyacinth003 , now you can hear it and view lyrics. Please let us know if you've had this solved for you.

There are a few ways to locate a song that was played on the radio. One is to go to the station's website. Most stations have a playlist of the songs they use. There are also two other sites that I know of: Spinditty and Shazaam. Both are very good.

I don't know your song but ID the songs I like by googleing a lyric which works very well.

I have been listening to the radio on FM late at night.  I am listening to the current genre, just to get informed!

I have come across a few songs that I have been able to identify, but NOT this one.  I have heard it about 3 times, and I can't locate what it might be.

It is current (I think) and seems to be sung by a young, black, man.  He is singing sadly about some woman who looks so much like a woman he once loved.  He is telling her he can't see her because of that.  Just too much heartbreak and has decided he cannot see her and is telling her goodbye.

Any ideas?

I listen to the radio a lot. There's a song that I love to hear from way back. It's played often at night with other oldie but goldie songs or just look it up on YouTube. "Kiss and Say Goodbye" sung by The Manhattans.

DH & I enjoy going to  Cracker Barrel a couple times a year. A few years ago, I was in the restroom of all places, and a beautiful, sad, country song was playing over the speaker. I noticed one line being repeated over & over, so googled it when I could. It was "When Someone Stops Loving You" by Little Big Town, and is now one of my favorite songs ever!

@hyacinth003 yes it's sad and true - most radio shows do not give information on the songs they play.  def. makes it harder to know what's what - Didn't the purpose of playing songs on the radio used to be that people would then buy the music?  Meaning people would need to know what it is to know what to buy.  Anyway,  you really can try the radio station website and you may be able to find it.  You could check the next morning / day with some of the stations (not all) and still be able to locate your song.  Just know what time you heard the song - it will be the way to locate it.  

You could google on your phone at night if you want to accomplish it when the song is playing.  Also, I wanted to suggest you record part of the song on your phone so you could play it back and write down some of the exact lyrics.  You could also play it for people you know and see if they know who it is.

This could all be moot, as people here have suggested that it's a song by Usher.  Do they have it right?  Is that the song?

@hyacinth003  Please come back to thread & tell us if the song mentioned in a couple of replies is the one?

Check the radio station's website or APP sometimes they post their playlist.  Or call the station and ask the DJ.

Yes, that is absolutely the song!  I was surprised to see it is from 2009. 

I watched the "official video" on You Tube, then I listened to it without the video.  It is much sweeter without the video!  It seems sweet and emotional without the video.  With the video it sounds much more trite!

I did search with any lyrics I thought I remembered.  Nothing came up for me.  Hearing it again, the lyrics were there but not in my memory well enough.

Thank you all so much!

@Silver Lining   Great song but that is about a man breaking off a relationship because he has "obligations" and she has "ties" in the first set of lyrics.

"I've got ties and so do you" in the next set of lyrics.

It was assumed this was an affair between two married persons.
