Talk About You
Mika Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walk through the city like stupid people do
A million faces, but all I'm seeing is you
I'm stopping strangers and telling them your name
Convincing haters, one day they'll feel the same

We're common people, we're common people in love
It's supernatural, it's just a force from above
Some call me crazy, some try to make me shut up
If I am crazy, that's what you made me

I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
Yeah, it's true, all I do is wanna talk about you

Walk through the jungle that used to be my town
Everything's different, you've turned it upside-down
It happened to me, totally unprepared
Just the beginning, but I'm not even scared

'Cause living like this is risking all that I know
And if it kills me, that's the way I wanna go
So pull me under, and put me under your spell
Rather be crazy, than normal people in hell

I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
Yeah, it's true, all I do is wanna talk about you

I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
Yeah, it's true, all I do is wanna talk about you

I wanna talk about you, I wanna talk about you
I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
Oh, all I do is wanna talk about you

Walk through the city, like normal people do
But all I'm seeing is you

I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
Yeah, it's true, all I do is wanna talk about you

I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
Yeah, it's true, all I do is wanna talk about you

I wanna talk about you, I wanna talk about you




I said you're the only one I wanna talk about
Oh, all I do is wanna talk about you

Overall Meaning

In "Talk About You" Mika expresses his love for someone who has turned his world upside down. He walks through the city, passing by countless faces, but his focus is solely on the person he loves. He stops strangers and tells them about this person, hoping to convince even the haters that their love is real. To him, they are just common people in love, but others might see him as crazy. Nevertheless, he doesn't care because this is what love has made him, and he relishes in it.


The chorus repeats his desire to talk about this person, and how they are the only one he wants to talk about. He compares his feelings to walking through a jungle that used to be his town, now seeing everything differently because of this person. He admits that living like this is risky, but it's worth it because it's better than being "normal people in hell."


The song is a catchy pop tune with a strong beat and a fun melody, but the lyrics delve deeper into the emotions of falling in love. Mika captures the feeling of being completely consumed by someone, even to the point of it being viewed as crazy by outsiders. Ultimately, he just wants to talk about the love of his life and the impact they have had on him.

But all I'm seeing is you
Despite walking around like a normal person, all I can see is you and thoughts of you consume me still.
