(Lyrics):Olivia Dean - Man I Need

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

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

Mm talk to me talk to me

Be the man that I need baby

Mm talk to me talk to me

Be the man that I need

I’d like to think you feel the same way

But I can’t tell with you sometimes

So baby lets get on the same page

Stop making me read between the lines
