Cruz Taio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What is going on, yeah
'Cause lately
We ain't been
Spending time alone
Last night
When I touched your hand
You didn't wanna hold, no
No kiss goodbye
Just said that you had to go
If you're leavin' me, baby
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
If you're done with me, baby
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
Yeah yeah
Yea
Listen
If you have
Something you wanna say?
Please don't
Don't hold it back
It'll come out someday
And I am
I'm strong enough
To mend my broken heart (oh yeah)
If you say
That you and I
Are better off apart
If you're leavin' me, baby
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
If you're done with me, baby
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
Yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I just wanna know
I wanna know
If you're leavin' me, baby
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
If you're done with me, baby
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
If you're leavin' me, baby
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
If you're done with me, baby
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
Yeah
The song I Just Wanna Know by Taio Cruz is a heartfelt and emotional plea from the singer to his partner. The lyrics suggest that there has been a distance growing between them, with the singer feeling neglected and insecure. He is seeking reassurance and wants to know whether his partner is still committed to him or if it is time to move on.
The opening lines of the song "Baby, talk to me, what is going on, yeah, 'cause lately we ain't been spending time alone" suggest that there has been a decrease in intimacy between the two parties. The singer is trying to understand why this is happening and is seeking an explanation for the sudden change in their relationship. He goes on to say that when he touched his partner's hand the previous night, they didn't want to hold it, and today they didn't even give him a kiss goodbye, which could suggest that they are losing interest in him.
In the second verse, the singer continues to plead with his partner to communicate with him. He says that he is strong enough to handle the truth, even if it means that they are better off apart. The overall message of the song is that communication is key to a healthy relationship, and without it, there can be no true understanding or growth.
