I Gotta Know

(Paul Evans - Matt Williams)




Get up in the mornin'
Feelin' mighty week
A-tossin' and a-turnin'
Well, I ain't had no sleep
Oh, baby, what road's our love taking
To romance or to heartbreaking
Won't you say which way your gonna go
I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know


Nine and nine make fourteen
Four and four make nine
The clock is striking thirteen
I think I lost my mind
You know it's getting aggravatin'
How long can I keep waitin'
Tell me if you love me, yes or no
I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know


* Oh, how much I need you
Have pity on this heart of mine
Well, if you need and want me, too
I'll be your one and only till the end of time
Saw the fortune teller
Had my fortune read
She sent me to the doctor
Who sent me straight to bed
He said I'm lonesome and I'm lovesick
I've got my mind on lipstick
Will you kiss away my cares and woe
I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know
