I Wanna Know You
Miley Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I saw you over there
I didn't mean to stare
But my mind was everywhere
I wanna know you
Gonna guess that you're kind
To say whats your mind
There's a mark above your eye
You got it in July
Fighting for your sister's reputation
You remember people's names
And Valentine's are lame
So I bring you flowers just for no occasion
(HANNAH AND DAVID)
Woah
Woah, Woah
Woah, Woah
I wanna know you
Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah
I wanna go there where you go
I wanna find out what you know
And maybe someday down the road
I'll sit back and say to myself
Yeah, I thought so
You smile and never shout
You stand out in a crowd
You make the best of every situation
Correct if I'm wrong
You're fragile and you're strong
A beautiful and perfect combination
Yeah
Woah, Woah
