I Want To Know
Willson and Watson Singers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Things go right
And things go bad
Why do you look so sad
That joke was pretty funny to me
Shit gets real
It hits the fan
Stop crying about some man
They're all dicks anyway

You're okay
Be happy like yesterday
Just fuck all their feelings
And fuck all their believings
Come on let's get deceiving and
Grab a drink or two
Let's experience something new
Let's stage a coup
Let's get tattoos
Come on, just me and you

Don't call your ex
And wipe away that tear
You don't want to hear
The lies he has to say

You're okay
Be happy like yesterday
Just fuck all their feelings
And fuck all their believings
Come on let's get deceiving and
Grab a drink or two
Let's experience something new
Let's stage a coup
Let's get tattoos
Come on, just me and you

You're okay
Be happy like yesterday
Just fuck all their feelings
And fuck all their believings
Come on let's get deceiving and
Grab a drink or two
Let's experience something new
Let's stage a coup




Let's get tattoos
Come on, just me and you
