Lyrics
I Wanna Know: words and music by Rev. Roger Anthony Yolanda Mapes
VS.1:
I wanna ask you things I never asked before.
I need you to tell me things you know I need to hear.
You don’t have to whisper in my ear,
Just communicate with me loud and clear:
Chorus: I wanna know, I wanna understand, I wanna know, are you a woman or a man?
VS.2:
I want you to feel the feelings deep inside my heart..Because sometimes they hurt so much they tear me apart.
Sometimes I think you’re gonna drive me mad and sometimes I think you’re the best friend I ever had.
Chorus: I wanna know, I wanna understand, I wanna know, are you a woman or a man?
Why in the world do ya look they way you look?
Why in the world do you break every rule in the book?
Why in the world do you walk the way you walk?
Why in the world do you talk such nasty talk?
Bridge:
People don’t trust you.
They say you do Voodoo
They Say you don’t comb your hair
They say you don’t wear no underwear
They say you don’t smell so nice
And you won’t listen to your Mamma’s advice
You don’t wanna work no 9 to 5
So How ya gonna stay alive?
Chorus: I wanna know, I wanna understand, I wanna know, are you a woman or a man?
