Wanna Know You Lyrics - In With The Old - Pepper

I saw a street corner angel 

Platinum problems pressed against the wall 

She paid her dues, bought stiletto shoes 

Had a real mean pimp named Paul 

Well Paul tied her up to the railroad tracks 

'Cause he didn't get the money in time 

I heard her screamin' loud from the other side of town 

And the train was comin' down the line 

Exclamation points jumped out her eyes 

Rips all across her fishnet thighs 

Big tears rolling as I'm strugglin' to cut her loose 

She had a little bit of karma above her left eye 

It hit me in the shape of a scar 

I tried to help her out with the ride back home 

But she jumped right outta my car 

Baby, I just really wanna know you 

Can't keep me away, not if you try 

Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry 

I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me 

Well since that night I really thought about things 

I fell for an angel with the dirty wings 

Now I have to find her, let her know how I feel 

Gotta tighten up some business before I make it real 

Paul didn't like that I pulled her off the tracks 

Real late last Saturday night 

I knew he was mad when I got to the pad 

'Cause he left me a real nice surprise 

Dropped a little message in my mailbox 

He told me where to meet him, that we had to talk 

He said I shouldn't mess with his curly locks 

And if I did again he'd pump me full of shots 

I took that meeting with the pimp named Paul 

Stabbed him in the heart and watched him fall 

Went lookin' for my angel all over the place 

I found her in the movie by Andrew Blake 

Baby, I just really wanna know you 

Can't keep me away, not if you try 

Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry 

I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me 

Baby, I just really wanna know you 

Can't keep me away, not if you try 

Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry 

I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me
