"Talk To Me" lyrics - MARY J. BLIGE

Ohhh...
Hmmm...
Ohhh...
Hmmm...

Baby, you're a man and I know it's hard to reach out for help.
And let down your guard.
But I am your woman.
So you gotta know why I been put on this earth.
To be right by your side.
Now lately you've been tryna hide it but something's on your mind.
But I care what's going on with you too much to let it slide.
I'm over the fussing.
And I'm tryna stop cussing.
So we gonna chill.
Let's start to rebuild, boy.

Talk to me. (Just like you used to)
Talk to me. (I don't wanna lose you so)
If you want to make this work the way I wanna. (I ain't gonna force but you gonna)
Talk to me. (Just like you need to)
Talk to me. (Baby, I will receive you)
Every secret you know that I'll keep it. (Ain't I good to you baby?)
So come on, talk to me.

Ain't no telling lies.
Ain't no holding back.
Ain't no tip toeing.
We too grown for that.
I'm a say some things.
And I'm very clear that you may say some things I may not wanna hear.
But I'm gone listen to them.
And we gone work it out.
And if I need a breather, let you go walk it out.
I would never disrespect you.
You are the head.
But there's so many things going left unsaid, ohh.

Talk to me. (Just like you used to)
Talk to me. (I don't wanna lose you so)
If you want to make this work the way I wanna. (Hey, I ain't gonna force but you gonna)
Talk to me. (Just like you need to)
Talk to me. (Baby, I will receive you)
Every secret you know that I'll keep it. (Hey, ain't I good to you baby)
So come on, talk to me.

You know love is a process.
And it ain't gonna happen over night.
So be patient with my shortcomings.
You know how hard I try.
Let's break down all the barriers standing in our way.
Get over yourself for me.
I'll get over myself for you.
Let's get over ourselves for us.
Let's start today, yeah.

Talk to me. (Just like you used to)
Talk to me. (I don't wanna lose you so)
If you want to make this work the way I wanna. (Hey, I ain't gonna force but you gonna talk)
Talk to me. (Just like you need to)
Talk to me. (Baby, I will receive you, yeah)
Every secret you know that I'll keep it. (Every secret, ain't I good to you baby)
So come on, talk to me.
Ain't I good to you baby?
Ain't I good to you baby?
You can open your heart.
You can open your mind.
I'm all yours and I'm your friend.
You can talk to me at any time.
At any day.
At any hour.
I'm by your side.
I'll never leave you.
I got your back, hey.

Talk to me.
Talk to me. (Baby, I want)
If you want to make this work the way I wanna.
(If you wanna make it work, I ain't gonna force you but you gotta talk to me)
Talk to me.
Talk to me. (You ain't gotta go nowhere)
Every secret you know that I'll keep it. (I'll be right here)
(You ain't gotta go outside, I'll be right here)
So come on, talk to me. (Hey, ohhh...)
