I Wanna Know


Sonny was walking on the docks.  He needed some space to think.  He wasn't sure what was happening to him.  Carly had moved into the penthouse and into his heart but he didn't know what to do about it.  She was the most frustrating woman.  Just when he thinks he’s getting close to figuring her out, she goes and says or does something that completely throws him.  He just wants to understand and love her.

It's amazing how you knock me off my feet, hmm
Every time you come around me I get weak, oh yeah
Nobody ever made me feel this way, oh
You kiss my lips and then you take my breath away
So I wanna know

Carly wasn’t doing much better with her feelings.  Sonny was making her feel things that no man had done before.  Not even Jason had made her feel this way.  This was new and it wasn't about need, it was so much more and that scared her.  Maybe she had at last found what she had spent most of her life looking for.  Love, a place to belong and a home.  Those thoughts brought tears to her eyes.  But she just didn't know how to make him understand what she was feeling.

I wanna know what turns you on
So I can be all that and more
I'd like to know what makes you cry
So I can be the one who always makes you smile

Sonny was looking out at the water.  He realized that a part of the problem was Jason.  She was still in love with him and maybe she would never see Sonny for the man he is because Jason was what she thought she needed.  But he knew she needed more.

Girl he never understood what you were worth, hmm no
And he never took the time to make it work
(You deserve more loving, girl)
Baby I'm the kind of man who shows concern, yes I do, oh
Anyway that I can please you let me learn
So I wanna know


Carly was looking at pictures of her, Michael and Jason with tears in her eyes because she was letting go of the dream of them being a family.  But at the same time her heart was breaking, it was full of hope for what might be.

I wanna know what turns you on
So I can be all that and more
I'd like to know what makes you cry
So I can be the one who always makes you smile


Sonny was looking at some flowers and he wondered what kind of flowers were her favorite.  He picked the yellow roses and hoped she liked them.

Tell me what I gotta do to please you
Baby anything you say I'll do
Cause I only wanna make you happy
From the bottom of my heart, it's true


He was in the car on the way home and all his thoughts were focused on her.  He just wanted to know her; her thoughts and her fears.  He looked out the window, just taking in the scenery, praying that when he saw her, he would find the find the right words to say.  The words that would make her understand what he feels for her.

I wish that I could take a journey through your mind, alright
And find emotions that you always try to hide babe, oh
I do believe that there's a love you wanna share, oh, oh
I'll take good care of you lady, have no fear, oh
So I wanna know


He opened the penthouse door to find her asleep on the couch.  He laid the roses on the table and watched her sleep, completely  taken in by her beauty.  He smiled at the thought of what their child would look like.  He hoped that their child would have its mother’s gorgeous eyes.  He was so lost in his thoughts, he hadn’t noticed that she was now awake and looking at him.  There was something new in those beautiful eyes.

I wanna know what turns you on
So I can be all that and more
I'd like to know what makes you cry
So I can be the one who always makes you smile


"What time is?"  She sat up and looked around the room.

"It's pretty late.  Why were you sleeping on the couch.  It's not good for you or the baby."

Carly just looked at him.  She was afraid to speak, she didn't want to say the wrong things.  There were a million things she want to tell him but she didn't know where to begin.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine.  I'm just..”  She couldn't finish what she was going to say.

"What?"  He wanted to tell her how he was feeling but he couldn't find the right words.  He moved closer to her.   She looked into his eyes and knew in that moment that he loved it.  It was shining in his eyes so clearly.  How could she have missed it before?

Tell me what I gotta do to please you
Baby anything you say I'll do
Cause I only wanna make you happy
From the bottom of my heart, it's true

They continued to stare at each other.  No words were spoken but at the same time there was communication between them.  They both know what was happening and there was no fear.  Whatever the future held for them, it was a journey worth taking.

I wanna know what turns you on
So I can be all that and more
I'd like to know what makes you cry
So I can be the one who always makes you smile
