I Wanna Talk About Me

Toby Keith · Greatest Hits 2 [2004]

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 dimples 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 awhile



[chorus]

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 Nana up in Munci, 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



[chorus]



I wanna talk about 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



[chorus]



I wanna talk about me

I wanna talk about me

I wanna talk about me

I wanna talk about me

I Wanna Talk About Me
