Lyrics
Yeah, yeah
That’s right
We talk about your work, how your boss is a jerk
We talk about your church, and your head when it hurts
We talk about the troubles you been having with your brother
About your daddy and your mother and your crazy ex-lover
We talk about your friends, and the places that you’ve been
We talk about your skin and the devils on your chin
The polish on your toes and the run in your hose
And god knows we’re gonna talk about your clothes
You know talking about you makes me smile
But every once in a while
I wanna talk about me, wanna talk about i
Wanna talk about number one, oh my, me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, you, you, you usually
But occasionally, I wanna talk about me (me, me, me, me)
I wanna talk about me (me, me)
We talk about your dreams, and we talk about your schemes
Your high school team and your moisturizing cream
We talk about your nanny up in Muncie, Indiana
We talk about your grandma down in Alabama
We talk about your guys of every shape and size
The ones that you despise and the ones you idolize
We talk about your heart, ’bout your brain and your smarts
And your medical charts and when you start
You know talking about you makes me grin
But every now and then
I wanna talk about me, wanna talk about i
Wanna talk about number one, oh my, me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, you, you, you usually
But occasionally, I wanna talk about me (me, me, me, me)
I wanna talk about me (me, me)
I wanna talk about me (me, me, me, me, me)
I wanna talk about me (me, me, me, me, me)
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me, wanna talk about i
Wanna talk about number one, oh my, me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, you, you, you usually
But occasionally, I wanna talk about me (me, me, me, me)
I wanna talk about me (me, me)
I wanna talk about me (me, me, me, me)
Oh, me (me, me, me, me)
