Talk to me, talk to me
Talk to me, talk to me

Looks like we're making up for lost time
Need you to spell it out for me
Bossa nova on all night
It's like a type of alchemy
Introduce me to your best friend
I can come and slot right in
A satellite ain't even that far
I kinda wonder where you are

Already know I can't leave it alone
You're on my mind, mmm
Already gave you the time and the place
So don't be shy
Just come be the man I need

Tell me you got something to give
I want it
I kinda like when you call me wonderful
Whatever the type of talk it is
Come on, then
I gotta know you're meant to be the man I need
Talk to me
Talk to me
Mmm, talk to me, talk to me
Be the man that I need, baby
Talk to me, talk to me
Be the man that I need, need, need
Talk to me, talk to me
Be the man that I need, baby
Talk to me, talk to me
Be the man, man, man, man, man

I'd like to think you feel the same way
But I can't tell with you sometimes
So baby, let's get on the same page
Stop making me read between the lines

Already know I can't leave it alone
You're on my mind, mmm
Already gave you the time and the place
So don't be shy
Just come be the man I need

Tell me you got something to give
I want it
I kinda like when you call me wonderful
Whatever the type of talk it is
Come on, then
I gotta know you're meant to be the man I need
Talk to me
Talk to me
Talk to me
Talk to me
Mmm, talk to me, talk to me
Be the man that I need, baby
Talk to me, talk to me
Be the man that I need, need, need
Talk to me, talk to me
Be the man that I need, baby
Talk to me, talk to me
Be the man, man, man, man, man

Mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
