I Want To Know
Mark Wills Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She don't like to stay out late
She'd rather be at home
Holdin' hands by the fireplace
I wonder if he knows
She likes moonlit walks on a seashore sand
Pickin' up shells with her toes
It's the silly things that make her laugh
I wonder if he knows

I wonder if he knows
Just where her heart has been
I wonder if it shows
She won't let it be broken again
It took a long time to mend
I wonder if he knows

She believes in a wedding band
And that the truth be told
She's gonna need a one-woman man
I wonder if he knows
She can't trust a man who tells a lie
That's farther than she will go
She'll find the strength to say goodbye
Oh, I wonder if he knows

I wonder if he knows
Just where her heart has been
I wonder if it shows
She won't let it be broken again
It took a long time to mend
I wonder if he knows





Oh, I wonder if he knows

Omg this is the best song ever.... Country music....There is nothing like this anymore....Mark Wills is so good

Joshua Brooks

Mark is a truly underrated singer.

P.S., I was one of the reasons that his "Permanently" album went multiplatinum, and my brother was one of the reasons why his "Wish you were here" album accomplished that same feat two years prior.
