Olivia Dean —
Man I Need

Lyrics and music by Olivia Dean, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Zach Nahome

   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, right?
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.

Chorus:
     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.
   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.
   Mmm, 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.

Chorus:
     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.
   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.
   Mmm, 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.
