I'm Talking About You
The Hollies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you about a girl I know
I met her walking down Lowtown Street
Well she's so fine
Well I wish she was mine
I get shook up every time we meet

I'm talking about you
Nobody but you
I do mean you now
I'm just trying to get a message to you now

Let me tell you about a girl I know
I tell you now she looked so good
Well guys stood still
At such a beautiful build
She ought to be somewhere in Hollywood

I'm talking about you
Nobody but you
I do mean you now
I'm just trying to get a message to you now

Let me tell you about a girl I know
I tell you now she looked so good
Well guys stood still
At such a beautiful build
She ought to be somewhere in Hollywood

I'm talking about you
Nobody but you




I do mean you now
I'm just trying to get a message to you now
