I Wanna Know
Nelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm full of broken pieces
And all my nights are sleepless
And I don't mean to intrude
This secret can you keep it?
Won't give up even if it
Takes me all night,
Just won't feel right, (until I have you)
Tired eyes burn,
When will I learn?
Tell me what to do
I don't wanna go to bed
I don't wanna go to bed (no)
I don't wanna go to bed
I don't wanna go to bed without you
I don't wanna go to bed
I don't wanna go to bed (no)
I don't wanna go to bed
I don't wanna go to bed without you
Let's get this out of the way
Why should we wait forever?
We're meant to be together
I'm not ashamed to say (let me tell you one time)
You don't remember my name
But I still want you the same
Love at first sight,
Left me tongue tied,
Just won't feel right
(Until I have you)
Tired eyes burn,
When will I learn?
Tell me what to do (tell me what to do)
(I'm sayin') I don't wanna go to bed
I don't wanna go to bed (no)
I don't wanna go to bed
I don't wanna go to bed without you
I don't wanna go to bed
I don't wanna go to bed (no)
I don't wanna go to bed
I don't wanna go to bed without you
I don't wanna go to bed without ya
No you no lie no sleep without ya
Go crazy in the, I go crazy without ya
E'ry dream, e'ry nightmare's about ya, I
Can't lie, got love at first sight
Love the first night, I took my first bite, I'm
Insane when I take aim, like,
King James with the mid-range bang!
Love at first sight,
Left me tongue tied,
Just won't feel right
(Until I have you)
Tired eyes burn,
When will I learn?
Tell me what to do (ah, ah, ah, yeah)
I don't wanna go to bed (I don't wanna go to bed)
I don't wanna go to bed (I don't wanna go to bed)
I don't wanna go to bed
I don't wanna go to bed without you
I don't wanna go to bed
I don't wanna go to bed (no)
I don't wanna go to bed
I don't wanna go to bed without you
I don't want to go to bed (I don't wanna go)
I don't want to go to bed (I don't wanna go)
I don't want to go to bed
I don't want to go to bed without you
I don't wanna go to bed without ya
No you no lie no sleep without ya
This is Simple Plan Shorty!
I don't want to go to bed without you!
I said
I don't wanna go to bed without ya
No you no lie no sleep without ya
No you no sleep!
I don't want to go to bed without you
In Nelly's song "Go," the artist expresses his feelings of being broken and sleepless, and his desire to be with the person he loves. The song begins with Nelly admitting his truth, that he is full of broken pieces and unable to sleep. He then asks the person he's singing to if they can keep a secret, indicating that he wants this person to know that he's in love with them. He laments that he won't be able to feel right until he has them in his life, and that he's willing to wait forever for them.
The chorus of the song features Nelly repeatedly stating that he doesn't want to go to bed without the person he loves. He is willing to go crazy and is haunted by dreams and nightmares about this person. He proclaims that he had love at first sight and took his "first bite" of love that night. Finally, the song ends with Nelly's declaration that he doesn't want to go to bed without this person, and he repeats this message several times.

I gotta tell you the truth
I need to be honest with you

I hope I am not bothering you

I need to confide in someone and trust them with my secret
Won't give up even if it

A fun outro from the artist
No you no lie no sleep without ya
I cannot lie, I need you to sleep
Go crazy in the, I go crazy without ya
I need you to be with me to feel complete
E'ry dream, e'ry nightmare's about ya, I
I am constantly thinking about you, both good and bad
Can't lie, got love at first sight
I cannot deny my feelings for you
Love the first night, I took my first bite, I'm
I was immediately attracted to you from the start
Insane when I take aim, like,
I am passionate and intense when I pursue something I want
King James with the mid-range bang!
A basketball reference to emphasize how hard I am going for you

That four second censor is brutal.
@PlatoonGoon
@Jay Bee There used to be a time where you couldn't even mention smoke, let alone sensual acts. Now it's different lol this was back then
@PaniniWasteland
My jaw dropped after that
@aeriall4431
I actually stated laughing, shows how much the times have changed. That wouldn't be censored now.
@GoldenPistachio63
@@aeriall4431 The reason why so much was censored in the early 2000s is the Colombine Massacre back in 1999. After that the government was checking everything that could be brutal up in Songs, Video games and Movies that could be consumed by kids and censored the hell out of it. Even non-Rap Songs were censored like the Word "gun" in Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus
@aeriall4431
@@GoldenPistachio63 Oh Teenage Dirtbag. I still listen to Wheatus, though I'm proud to say I own the uncensored version now! 😅
