Getting to Know You
[unknown] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it took me quite a long time
To go outside
To let go
Let me go!
I've been afraid
And what made me understand
Was that we don't
Together!
Where you ever unable to go out
On a Friday night?
I wanna know you in the way you are
Individual
Shout into the bubble tell me
How you wanna do what you like
I wanna know you in the way you are
Individual
Yeah
Open up now
Open up
Forgot to put on my shoes
(put them on, put them on)
They say (they say)
'cause we don't have to
We don't have to
We don't have to
Stay
Where you ever unable to go out
On a Friday night?
I wanna know you in the way you are
Individual
Shout into the bubble tell me
How you wanna do what you like
I wanna know you in the way you are
Individual
We don't have to
We don't have to
We don't have to stay
We don't have to
We don't have to
We don't have to stay
Oh no I don't have to
And those are my last words
If we are free to leave
As we should always be

I don't wanna live this love
I do not want to continue this relationship
It don't belongs to me
This relationship is not meant for me
I wanna get out of the deep
I want to get out of this situation
Feel you close to me
I want to be close to you
I miss you baby
I am feeling your absence
You drive me completely crazy
Your absence is causing me distress
I won't let anything hurt you
I will protect you from harm
It all isn't mine but
Not everything belongs to me
I need to be there with you
I want to be near you
I will always be here
I will be present for you
To show you everything I feel
To express my emotions to you
But I don't have much time
I am limited in my time with you
I need to know if you are mine
I need to know if we have a future together
Like stars belongs to the sky
You are meant to be with me
Come back to me now
Return to me immediately
When I'm here with you
Being with you feels like forever
It feels like eternity
Time with you is timeless
But now without you
Life without you is unbearable
It's nearly insanity
It is driving me crazy
You're in my heart until I die
You hold a special place in my heart forever
Dont leave me now.
Stay with me for the time being

I remember very well the first time I saw this musical with my family on VHS.
it was back in January of 1991. my family had just come back to the United States after a year and a half in the country of Nicaragua.
I had to go have a heart surgery. the night before I went to the hospital to have my surgery my dad rented The King and I from the local library for my family to watch that night. I remember sitting down in the apartment that night enjoying the musical very much.
I was only 7 years old, but I understood the importance of this song.
Anna came from another world where things are quite different. this song was basically telling us but no matter how different people are they still can get to know each other if they get a chance too.

I am 71 years old and have my first grandchild in my arms as I write this. I learned all the songs from the king and I when I was 6 years old. I used to sing them all to my grandmother. I studied classical singing for many years. The memories of my Nani and sharing this music is one f my very best. Now I sing this song to my 4 month old granddaughter. What wonderful music. Full of love and is so very pure. Thank Rogers and Hammerstein.

Blessings to you and your grandchild.

I LOVE how HUGE the skirt is, the way it twirls and even hit’s a lot of the kids in the face, the costume design of this movie is perfection
@HawkinaBox
I want to wear something like that.
@forreal245
It only "appears" to hit them in face. That is a very heavy skirt & would harm anyone if hit in face.

Deborah Kerr said those dresses weighed 40 pounds and were very warm. She thought everyone would call her, "the melting Miss Kerr." Irene Sharaff designed them, as well as for the stage show. She won an Oscar and went on to design for other productions including Flower Drum Song, Hello Dolly!, and Mommie Dearest.

@@bach1369 I thought Irene Sharaff resigned from "Mommie Dearest" because Faye Dunaway was a terror to work with. She also won for "West Side Story."

@@The1971orange Irene Sharaff has the screen credit. I have heard the same story but didn't know she resigned. She also did the costumes for Flower Drum Song and Hello, Dolly!
@crazeechickee11
The part where the little kids try to imitate her huge skirt just kills me every time. So sweet!

Agreed choreographer Jerome Robbins was a genius!
