Nikka Costa - I Gotta Know lyrics

I gotta know

If I give my heart to you

That everything you say is true

And everything you say you'll do you'll do

I gotta know

If I bare my soul right here

You'll never run or disappear

You'll hold me till the hours turn to years

And I gotta say

My heart has never been so sure

You've mended every piece that tore

And now my love's too strong to tear away

So I gotta know

If you feel the same my dear

Let's justify why we are here

Say the words that I long to hear

Cause I've been so strong for so long

I never needed anyone

But my strength is wearing out my heart

So I'm letting my guard down

Cause I feel like I've finally found somebody

But I gotta know

I gotta know

You'll still kiss away my tears

Even if they make no sense

Even if they put you on defense

I gotta know

Through the times when it gets rough

That our love will be enough

And we'll never let it go

I know only time will tell

But I need to hear it anyway

Cause now my love's too strong to tear away
