Do I Wanna Know?
Arctic Monkeys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you got color in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the type
That sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you're in deep?
I've dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
'Cause there's this tune I found
That makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep, spillin' drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go) was sorta hopin' that you'd stay
(Baby, we both know) that the nights were mainly made
For sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you
Ever thought of callin' when
You've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too
Busy bein' yours
To fall for somebody new
Now, I've thought it through
Crawlin' back to you

So have you got the guts?
Been wonderin' if your heart's still open
And if so, I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down an' pucker up, I'm sorry to interrupt
It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of tryin' to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go) was sorta hopin' that you'd stay
(Baby, we both know) that the nights were mainly made
For sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you (crawlin' back to you)
Ever thought of callin' when
You've had a few? (You've had a few)
'Cause I always do ('cause I always do)
Maybe I'm too (maybe I'm too busy)
Busy bein' yours (bein' yours)
To fall for somebody new
Now, I've thought it through
Crawlin' back to you

(Do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go) was sorta hopin' that you'd stay
(Baby, we both know) that the nights were mainly made
For sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day
(Do I wanna know?) Too busy bein' yours to fall
(Sad to see you go) ever thought of callin', darlin'?
(Do I wanna know?) Do you want me crawlin' back to you?

Overall Meaning

The song "Do I Wanna Know?" by Arctic Monkeys is about a person who is obsessing over someone they are attracted to. The lyrics are filled with questions and anticipation, with the singer wondering if the other person feels the same way, and if they will ever be together. The opening lines, "Have you got color in your cheeks? Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the type That sticks around like summat in your teeth?" allude to the singer's nervousness and their fear of rejection.


The chorus reflects the singer's longing to know if the other person is interested in them as well, and if they could be together. The line "Crawlin' back to you" suggests a sense of desperation and a willingness to do whatever it takes to be with the other person, while "Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new" indicates that the singer sees themselves as already belonging to the other person, even if they are not yet in a relationship.


The song captures a common experience of romantic attraction and uncertainty about whether the other person feels the same way. The lyrics also convey a sense of vulnerability and a longing for intimacy, with the singer willing to risk rejection and pursue the object of their desire.

Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear
that you can't shift the type
That sticks around
like something in your teeth

Are there some aces up your sleeve
Have you no idea that you're in deep?
I've dreamt about you nearly
every night this week

How many secrets can you keep?
'Cause there's this tune I've found
That makes me think of you somehow
And I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made
for saying things
That you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling
when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too
Busy being yours to fall
for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you

So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your
heart's still open
And if so I wanna know
what time it shuts

Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt
It's just I'm constantly
on the cusp of trying
To kiss you
I don't know if you
Feel the same as I do
But we could be together
If you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made
for saying things
That you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling
when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too
Busy being yours to fall
for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made
for saying things
That you can't say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling, darling?
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me
crawling back to you?
