Talk to me, talk to meTalk to me, talk to meHmVerse 1
Looks like we're making up for lost timeNeed you to spell it out for meBossa nova on all nightIt's like a type of alchemyIntroduce me to your best friendI can come and slot right inA satellite ain't even that farI, I kinda wonder where you arePre-Chorus
Already know I can't leave it aloneYou're on my mind, mmAlready gave you the time and the placeSo, don't be shyJust come be the man I needChorus
Tell me you got something to give, I want itI kinda like it when you call me "Wonderful"Whatever the type of talk it is, come on thenI gotta know you're meant to be the man I needTalk to me, talk to mePost-Chorus

The singer expresses frustration about unclear communication in a potential relationship. She wants the other person to be direct, honest, and emotionally present. She's tired of guessing his feelings and needs him to prove he's worth her time by actually talking to her and showing genuine interest.
