(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
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
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
Talk to me
