  • 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, yeah
    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 it 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

    Mm, 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
    Mm, 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, yeah, now
    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 it 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

    Mm, 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
    Mm, 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

    Mm
    Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm
    Mm-mm, mm
    Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm Writer/s: Olivia Lauryn Dean, Tobias Macdonald Jesso, Zachary Nahome
