I NEED TO KNOW

Well, the talk on the street
Says you might go solo
A good friend of mine
Saw you leavin' by your back door

I need to know, I need to know
If you think you're gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know, I need to know
Cause I don't know how long I can hold on
If you're makin' me wait, if you're leadin' me on
I need to know

Who would've thought that
You'd fall for his line
All of a sudden
It's me on the outside

I need to know, I need to know
If you think you're gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know, I need to know
Cause I don't know how long I can hold on
If you're makin' me wait, if you're leadin' me on
I need to know

I need to know, I need to know
If you think you're gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know, I need to know
Cause I don't know how long I can hold on
If you're makin' me wait, if you're leadin' me on
I need to know

I need to know
I need to know
Baby, I need to know
