My interpretation of this songs is wanting to have good communication in a relationship, and wanting the significant other to listen regardless if they care or not. And basically just wanting nothing else form them but their undivided attention.
[Verse 1]
You don't have to love me
You don't have to want me
Don't even have to spend time with me
You don't have to go and buy me things
[Pre-Chorus]
Just listen up when I start to talk
It's good enough
I don't want your body
Even though I think about it
It's your mind I want
[Chorus]
I just want to tell you about the things I do
And all the dates I had
And all the girls I screwed
You don't have to be one of them
You just have to hear what I'm saying
Just listen up, just listen up
Just listen up, just listen up
I just want to tell you about the things I do
And all the dates I had
And all the girls I screwed
You don't have to be one of them
You just have to hear what I'm saying
[Verse 2]
You don't have to say you miss me
You don't have to put me on your wishlist
Don't even have to go and post a pic
Don't even have to stop seeing other men
[Pre-Chorus]
Just listen up when I start to talk
It's good enough
I don't want your body
Even though I think about it
It's your mind I want
[Chorus]
I just want to tell you about the things I do
And all the dates I had
And all the girls I screwed
You don't have to be one of them
You just have to hear what I'm saying
Just listen up, just listen up
Just listen up, just listen up
I just want to tell you about the things I do
And all the dates I had
And all the girls I screwed
You don't have to be one of them
You just have to hear what I'm saying
