Joe featuring Mystikal's song "I Wanna Know" is a soulful track that portrays a man's desperate want to understand his lover's needs and desires, so he can fulfill them. From the very start, the lyrics paint a picture of pure ecstasy when his lover is around. The singer is so in love with his lover that the mere sight of her makes him feel weak. The emotional depth is palpable as he confesses that no one has ever made him feel the way she does.
The chorus of the song "I wanna know what turns you on, so I can be all that and more" highlights the singer's determination to do whatever it takes to please his lover. He wants to know what makes her happy as he loves to see her smile. The second verse of the song explains how the singer wants to shower his lover with love and care, which the previous man in her life didn't provide. He wants to learn everything about her so he can fulfill all her desires.
The bridge of the song, "I do believe that there's a love you want to share, oh, oh, I'll take good care of you lady, have no fear, oh," shows the singer's confidence in his love for his lady. He is assuring her that he is here to take care of her, just as she deserves. Throughout the song, the lyrics reinforce the singer's need to know everything about his lover to keep her happy.
