I Gotta Know

Why don't come around no more
Was it something that I said
Or did I get my signals crossed
Interference in my head

We were working a good thing
Now I'm feeling kinda down
I keep listening for the phone
But it doesn't make a sound

I tried keep it uncomplicated
I gotta know
I gotta know why you don't want me no more

I held you up in higher style
Always let you do your thing
Tried to keep the pressure down
Never fixed you with a ring

We always flowed with common words
And your touch was so intense
Now the radar screen is dead
You're not making any sense

I wanna leave it but I'm so frustrated
I gotta know
I gotta know why you don't want me no more

Do me round and round, ya comin and ya going
You throwin me your kisses and all your love you showing
Then you treat me like box a cracker jacks and mixing
Up the prize with your eyes and the caramel a sticking
To my heart, gum and chewey, you got me gooey gooey
Poppin bubbles like a baby, candy corn, kitty porn
At the store at four in the mornin, I'm torn between
the Cheetos and Doritos, I'm standing in my Speedos
I should really buy detergent, its urgent, I'm merging
All my laundry and emotion, throw it into the ocean
Animation at the station of purification
Life guarding, you're parting, I'm starting, the party - salvation

I could never call it white
When I think its really black
Everything is turning grey
& I want some colour back

I am down to walk away
& to leave it all behind
If you'd make your message clear
If you'd paint a better sign

I think the truth will keep me from being jaded
I gotta know
I gotta know why you don't want me no more
