Talk Talk – Charli XCX


I’ve been lookin’ at you

Puttin’ holes in your head

We’ve been talking for months

But never in the same room

Now I wanna approach ya

But we’ve been keeping this a secret

When you’re surrounded by friends

And I’m just wondering what they know

I wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d just talk to me

I wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d just talk to me

I think you’re getting closer

‘Cause l’ve been getting nervous

I wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d just talk to me

Talk to me, talk to me

Are you thinking ’bout me?

I’m kind of thinking you are

I followed you to the bathroom

But then I felt crazy

I’m feeling like I’m on fire

‘Cause we’ve been keeping this a secret

And all your friends are still there

And I’m just wondering what they know

I wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d just talk to me

I wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d just talk to me

I think you’re getting closer

‘Cause I’ve been getting nervous

I wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d talk, talk

Wish you’d just talk to me

Talk to me, talk to-

Wish you’d just talk to me, talk to me, talk to-

Wish you’d just talk to me, talk to me, talk to-

Wish you’d just talk to me, talk to me, talk to-

Wish you’d just talk to me, talk to me, talk to-

Talk to me in French, talk to me in Spanish

Talk to me in your own made-up language

Doesn’t matter if I understand it

Talk right in my ear

Tell me your secrets and fears

Once you talk to me, I’ll talk to you

And say, “Hey, let’s get out of here

Shall we go back to my place?”
