“Talking About”
By Conor Maynard
Chorus
I don’t even need to go to the club no more
I just need you here with me on this floor
You ain't gotta worry about a thing at all
Just take a chance, grab my hand
Now let's dance
I can feel it in my heart
When I'm close to you
We ain't really got nothing here to lose
I just wanna bounce, baby
Bounce, bounce, bounce
‘Cause you know this right here
Is what I’m talking about
Talking about, oh yeah
We’ve been in this for some time
You’re the type of girl
That’s always there to hold me down
When it comes to love you give it all
‘Cause with you it’s like
I got a friend come rise or fall
It's why we flow like melodies
Who needs words, not us
‘Cause we be in L-O-V-E
Like a beautiful harmony
Fit together so perfectly
(Chorus)
