Body Talk

"**Body Talk**" is the first single and third track from *All I Need*, Foxes' second studio album.

## Lyrics

Days like these

I just want you back

I can't breathe

I can't even speak

No la la la la la, la la

Gotta rise

Gotta fight

'Cause it's something I wanted

Oh, he's got to go

I can see in the light

It's not right

Now I know

I don't need him

Ooh, let your body talk

Even when you feel so lost

Spinning when the tears

They fall, you just gotta let it go

La la la la la

Days like these

I don't want you back

Now I feel free

Going to keep that like that yeah

Gotta rise

Gotta fight

'Cause it's something I wanted

Oh, he's got to go

I can see in the light

It's not right

Now I know

I don't need him

Ooh, let your body talk

Even when you feel so lost

Spinning when the tears

They fall, you just gotta let it go

Ooh, let your body talk

Even when you feel so lost

Spinning when the tears

They fall, you just gotta let it go

Days like these

I can finally speak like

La la la la la la la la la la

Ooh, let your body talk

Even when you feel so lost

Spinning when the tears

They fall, you just gotta let it go

Ooh, let your body talk

Even when you feel so lost

Spinning when the tears

They fall, you just gotta let it go

Let your body talk
