I Wanna Know

1 - If you got kids back home, I wanna know

If you don't, I wanna know

If you're straight or ya ain't, I wanna know

If you're broke, I wanna know

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know

If you wanna be with me, I gotta know

What you doin', where you're goin'

Where you have been

Who you loved, who you liked, who you seein'

Before I let you in

Because I learned from my past, oh yes I did

Met a guy that I liked, he was my type

But he lied 'bout his wife and he tried

To play me, play me

Now how long was he gon'

Wait before he told me 'bout that

I can't believe he did me like that

Something I should've known, oh yeah

But I've learned my lesson

Not again will I be naive

I need to know the secret ya'll keep

Cause what I don't know can come back on me

Repeat 1

If you wanna fall in love, gotta be aware

'Bout the life that your lover's been leadin'

So you know if they gonna schemin'

Or if they gonna dog you out

Cause I know I've had my share, oh yes I did

Did me wrong, stayin' at some woman's place

I'm just glad he was not a closet case

Deal with cheatin', but not that way

Now how long was he gon'

Wait before he told me 'bout that

I can't believe he did me like that

It's something I should've known, oh yeah yeah

But I've learned my lesson

Not again will I be naive

I need to know the secret ya'll keep

Cause what I don't know can come back on me

Repeat 1

Ladies, oh ladies

Find out all the partners he's had

So later on you won't be mad

Findin' out what you don't know

And fellas, oh fellas

Check for that Adam's apple

So you won't be on no talk show

Finding out what you don't know

Repeat 1

Repeat 1

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
