I Gotta Know Lyrics - Can'tneverdidnothin' - Nikka Costa

I gotta know 

If I give my heart to you, 

And everything you say is true, 

And everything you say you'll do, you'll do. 

And I gotta know, if I bare my soul right here, 

You'll never run or disappear, 

You'll hold me till the hours turn to years. 

And I gotta say, my heart has never been so sure, 

You've mended every piece that tore, 

And now my love's too strong to tear away. 

So I gotta know, if you feel the same my dear, 

Lets justify why we are here, 

Say the words that I long to hear. 

'cause I've been so strong for so long, 

I've never needed anyone, 

But my strength is wearing out my heart. 

So I'm letting my guard down 

'cause I feel like I've finally found somebody. 

But I gotta know. 

I gotta know 

You'll still kiss away my tears, 

Even if they make no sense, even if they put you on defense. 

And I gotta know 

Through the times when it gets rough, 

That our love will be enough, and you'll never let it go. 

'cause I've been so strong for so long, 

I never needed anyone, 

But my strength is wearing out my heart. 

So I'm letting my guard down 

'cause I feel like I've finally found somebody. 

But I gotta know. 

I gotta know, babe. 

I need to hear you say, 

I know only time will tell, 

But I need to hear it anyway. 

'cause now my love's too strong to tear away. 

'cause I've been so strong for so long, 

I never needed anyone, 

But my strength is wearing out my heart. 

So I'm letting my guard down 

'cause I feel like I've finally found somebody. 

But I gotta know. 

I gotta know.
