Well the talk on the street
Says you might go solo
A good friend of mine
Saw you leavin' by the back door

I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
If you think you're gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
Because I don't know how long
I can hold on
If your makin' me wait
If you're leadin' me on
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)

Who woulda thought
That you'd fall for his line
All of a sudden it's
Me on the outside

I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
If you think you're gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
Because I don't know how long
I can hold on
If your makin' me wait
If you're leadin' me on
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know), waah

Baby, I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
If you think you're gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
Because I don't know how long
I can hold on
If your makin' me wait
If you're leadin' me on
I need to know(I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
Baby I need to know
