You just gotta know |
|
You ever feel like life just coming at ya a million miles an hour? |
|
You just gotta know, you just gotta know |
|
Somebody's holding it all together |
|
Life is like an elevator, a lot of ups and downs |
|
People pushing your buttons and getting jerked around |
|
I used to lurk around town trying to work around |
|
Working so that |
|
I could hit the ground with the perfect sound |
|
Even perfect sound sounds like work |
|
When you spend your time flirting with the crown in the perp |
|
I was bound for berzerk with a layover in crazy |
|
A lazy Jay- |
|
Z hoping rock-a-fellas paid me |
|
Or rocking ladies were caught me a |
|
MercedesBut that whole dream was in '80's, baby |
|
Missed that shot like the cop that's crooked |
|
TV goes off, third eye still looking |
|
Mom's still cooking, |
|
I can always go home |
|
Even though |
|
I'm five years past grown |
|
Here I go again, |
|
I'm still chasing the wind, |
|
I can't win |
|
When it gets hot, it boils down to sin |
|
If heaven ain't a gift, then |
|
I ain't getting in, man |
|
I can't even find the words for the way |
|
I feelSo I paint a picture, |
|
I paint a picture |
|
I've been going down this road, seen some crazy things |
|
So I paint a picture, you gots to see it |
|
You just gotta know, you just gotta know |
|
You just gotta know, you just gotta know |
|
Yeah, I sit and hear the guitars play |
|
Wonder if they could, what would stars say? |
|
Or Venus and |
|
Mars say, or say that we want it our way |
|
Stars so desperate to shine that they go on living the hard way |
|
The intellect to travel to |
|
Mars but so blind |
|
We worship |
|
Venus but she don't even know who we are |
|
And she never cared why? ' |
|
Cause she wasn't there |
|
When I was trying to drown my sorrows in a pool of despair |
|
I ain't perfect, sometimes |
|
I feel worthless |
|
Worthless than that is the image that |
|
I'da purchased |
|
Man, from the shades to the shirt, to the shoes |
|
Just another fool trying to cover he's confused, that ain't cool |
|
Sometimes |
|
I hate the man in the mirror' |
|
Cause I know he's a liar and a cheater and a killer |
|
People say they love him but they love what he can give 'em |
|
But deep inside he knows that there's a reason for him living |
|
I can't even find the words for the way |
|
I feelSo I paint a picture, |
|
I paint a picture |
|
I've been going down this road, seen some crazy things |
|
So I paint a picture, you gots to see it |
|
You just gotta know, you just gotta know |
|
You just gotta know, you just gotta know |
|
Uh, you know |
|
I need you like |
|
AquaDay without ya got me so nauseous |
|
If I ain't cautious, |
|
I'm gonna self-inflict my sickness |
|
You know it's true, you as my witness |
|
At how you witness, my inconsistent |
|
Yes, the ovation when |
|
I need your assistance |
|
And I just gotta know that even though |
|
I'm a misfit |
|
I'm still worth more than calamity's |
|
French kiss |
|
Yes, I'm loved and |
|
I'm pursued |
|
And though |
|
I can't feel it, still |
|
I know that it's true |
|
Somebody woke me up and yeah, |
|
I know it was you |
|
And yet I keep trying to steer clear of your view' |
|
Cause if you get me, |
|
I know that you got me |
|
But I'm so insecure |
|
I can't believe that you want me |
|
But then I heard you went on your way to adopt me |
|
Well, you can have my all if you swear you won't drop me' |
|
Cause I gotta know, yeah |
|
You just gotta know, gotta know, gotta know |
|
You just gotta know, gotta know, gotta know that it's real |
|
You just gotta know, gotta know, gotta know that it's real |
|
You just gotta know, gotta know that it's real |
|
You just gotta know, gotta know, gotta know |
|
You just gotta know, gotta know, gotta know that it's real |
|
You just gotta know, gotta know, gotta know that it's real |
|
You just gotta know, gotta know that it's real |
