I Gotta Know

(album: Let Yourself Be Loved - 2020)

(Rumors) right now
(Going round) I need some answers boy
(Rumors) I need to know the truth
(Round town)

Why you wanna play with my love? Mmh-hm-hm
Don't you think that I can see the change, hey yeah
Was a time you couldn't get enough, ah-ah-ooh
But now the feelings just ain't the same, oh yeah

My world is turning, it's upside down
'Cause I done heard about the word that's going round, round

(Baby) I gotta know right now
(Baby) I gotta know right now
(Baby) I gotta know right now
There's a rumor round town and they say you gonna let me down
(Yeah-yeah) I gotta know right now
(Yeah-yeah) I gotta know right now
(Yeah-yeah) I gotta know right now
There's a rumor round town and they say you gonna let me down

(Rumors) Goddamn
Why you gotta be a bad man? (going round)

You know that I can see through the lies, yeah-yeah-yeah
'Cause it's written all over your face
And don't you know (don't you know) I see it in your eyes, baby?
That something seems so outta place, ooh-ooh yeah

My ears are burning, they start to pound
'Cause I done heard about the word that's going round, round

(Baby) I gotta know right now
(Baby) I gotta know right now
(Baby) I gotta know right now
There's a rumor round town and they say you gonna let me down
(Yeah-yeah) I gotta know right now
(Yeah-yeah) I gotta know right now
(Yeah-yeah) I gotta know right now
There's a rumor round town and they say you gonna let me down

Don't hurt me baby, don't cause me pain
I can't believe things they say
What you do is killing me
Why you wanna strip me of my dignity?

(Baby) I gotta know right now
(Baby) you gonna let me down
(Baby) I gotta know right now
I gotta, I gotta know if you let me down
(Baby) I gotta know right now
(Baby) I gotta know right now
(Baby) I gotta know right now
There's a rumor round town and they say you gonna let me down
