I Want To Know
Higgs and Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking in like ain't fair
It kinda figures why they stop and stare
With the baby blue eyes
Lighting up the night
Boy, do you wanna be in my life?
You don't know how bad it hurts
When I see you running round with some fuckin jerk
Come on a little closer
Slide it on over
Let's run this town tonight
Boy with the blonde hair
Get on over here
Let's have some fun tonight
I wanna rock it with you Until I can't no more
I wanna go where no one has taken you before
Slide up in my truck
Go for a little drive
Take the ride
For life
I want you in my life
Let's just take it slow tonight
We can just take our time
You know that I like ya
Boy I want ya
Tell me what ya feel tonight
I can tell you this for sure
He won't ever treat you just as good
So Give me that hand
Let's go dance
It's only you and I tonight
I wanna rock it with you
Until I can't no more
I wanna go where no one has taken you before
Slide up in my truck
Go for a little drive
Take the ride
For life
I want you in my life
I want you in my life
Boy you know I wanna spin you round this dancefloor here tonight
But I need to know one thing
Do you wanna spend the night with me
I wanna rock it with you
Until I can't no more
I wanna go where no one has taken you before
Slide up in my truck
Go for a little drive
Take the ride




For life
I want you in my life
