Thought You Might Wanna Know
Brooke Allison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A funny thing happened to me
Last night I went to a movie
Just to hang out with the ladies
Said you couldn't make it
Said you'd be workin' late
But there you were down in row three
Holdin' some other baby tightly
I wished it all was a bad dream
Then I saw you kissin'
Boy you better listen up

Don't need you that much
You're not special enough
To make me take a number
For your love

I thought you might want to know
Why I'll be letting you go
Said you loved me
But you're just another gigolo
I thought you might wonder why
I have to tell you goodbye
You think I need you baby but I don't
I thought you might want to know

My girl saw you by the club door
Followed you out on the dance floor
Don't know what you goin' there for
Didn't see your crew there
No one that you knew there
But my girl got my back so she stuck around
Heard you givin' the 411 out
So many times that she lost count
Thank you Mr. lover but you were to discover me
When a woman loves you
(And) you play her off like a fool
You think you got your game on
But you lose

I thought you might want to know
Why I'll be letting you go
Said you loved me
But you're just another gigolo
I thought you might wonder why
I have to tell you goodbye
Think I need you baby but I don't
I thought you might want to know

Oh-oh and I guess you'll be fine on your
Own but I don't really care if you won't
Hey yeah hey yeah

I thought you might want to know
Why I'm letting you go

I thought you might want to know
Why I'll be letting you go
Said you loved me
But you're just another gigolo
I thought you might wonder why
I have to tell you goodbye
Think I need you baby but I don't





I thought you might want to know
I thought you might want to know

I have to tell you goodbye
I need to say goodbye to you


Think I need you baby but I don't
You believe that I need you, but I don't
