I Gotta Know
Wanda Jackson · Four Classic Albums [2012]
Well I thought that you were a wantin' romance
But all you ever do is dance dance dance
So I boppity bop the whole night long
To the knocked out music of a jukebox song.
One thing I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know
If our love's the real thing
Where's my weddin' ring?
Yes we rocked and rolled till the broad daylight
You're a little too pooped to kiss your baby goodnight
I know you've had it when the rockin' is through
So I let you go home what else could I do.
One thing I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know
If our love's the real thing
Where's my weddin' ring?
--- Instrumental ---
Well I thought that you were a wantin' romance
But all you ever do is dance dance dance
So I boppity bop the whole night long
To the knocked out music of a jukebox song.
When you're on that floor you're cool man cool
But when it comes to lovin' you need to go to school
You know I'm longin' for a weddin' day
But all you ever do is play boy play.
One thing I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know
If our love's the real thing
Where's my weddin' ring?...
