"Small Talk" lyrics

"Small Talk"

She's been looking at me all night, I'm terrified
I know why, baby
She's got the wrong crazy
Oh, I see the moon in her eyes, I'm paralyzed
She's not my baby
She's got the wrong crazy

Like wolves we've run wild
Let passion get too much
And let ourselves get burned by the fire
We're walking on wire
But nothing feels higher
Then when I see that look in your eyes

Tell me what you want because you know I want it too
Let's skip all the small talk and go straight up to your room
I've been thinking what I'd do when I'm alone with you
Just say nothing, small talk only gets in the way

Turn around, she's walking to me
I can't believe she's not my baby
Won't someone come save me?
Oh, you see the fool in my mind
Can't run and hide
With your stare on me
Look what you're doing to me

I wanna run wild
Let passion get too much
Let ourselves get burned by the fire
We're walking on wire
But, nothing feels higher
Then when I see that look in your eyes

Tell me what you want because you know I want it too
Let's skip all the small talk and go straight up to your room
I've been thinking what I'd do when I'm alone with you
Just say nothing, small talk only gets in the way

Just say nothing, no, no
No small talk
Just say nothing, no, no

Like wolves we've run wild
Let passion get too much
And let ourselves get burned by the fire

Tell me what you want because you know I want it too
Let's skip all the small talk and go straight up to your room
I've been thinking what I'll do when I'm alone with you
Just say nothing, small talk only gets in the way
Tell me what you want because you know I want it too
Let's skip all the small talk and go straight up to your room
I've been thinking what I'll do when I'm alone with you
Just say nothing, small talk only gets in the way

Just say nothing, no, no
No small talk
I'll just say nothing, no, no (If you want it, you can have it)
No small talk

Niall Horan told The Sun about "Small Talk", "I love this song. It's got a bit of a rasp to it, I always say it's a close neighbour of 'Slow Hands' — a grungier version." He also added, "'Small Talk' and 'Nice To Meet Ya' would be the egotistical part of the concept where you're out on the town and a bit of a joke, like, 'I'm going out tonight and it's going to be fun.'"
The title of this song, by the way, was shown on a taxi in the music video for "Nice To Meet Ya". The telephone number written above got a voice message from Niall Horan, which explained that the song was co-written by him and Jamie Scott and that it continues the idea behind "Nice To Meet Ya": you do a small talk after meeting someone on a night out.
