**this should be over 3. ex: C# = C#/F.

**  Looks like we’re makin’ up for lost time,

**  Need you to spell it out for me.

**  Bossa Nova on all night –

**  it’s like a type of alchemy-**y

Introduce me to your best friend,

**  I can come and slot right in.

**  A satellite ain’t even that far,

**  (I), I kinda wonder where you are…

Already know I can’t leave it al**one,

you’re on my mind, mm…

Already gave you the time and the plac**e –

so, don’t be shy.

Just come be the man I need,

tell me you got somethin’ 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…

Mm, 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.

Mm, 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 makin’ me read between the lines.

Already know I can’t leave it al**one,

you’re on my mind, mm…
