Just Got to Know
Craving Answers: Unraveling the Depths of Love in Jimmy McCracklin's 'Just Got to Know'
Lyrics
I want to know, I just got to know
I have a strong desire to understand something.
Why do you always play around
Why do you consistently engage in playful or flirtatious behavior?
If you have the same feeling for me
If you share the same emotions or affection towards me,
Then why don't you settle down
Why haven't you committed to a serious relationship?
I want to know, I want to know I just got to know
I emphasize my desire to know, repeating it for emphasis.
I think you want me for conveniency
I suspect that your interest in me is for convenience rather than genuine affection.
If I'm wrong please tell me right
If I'm mistaken, please clarify and confirm my understanding.
I know I been in the dark a long time
I acknowledge that I've been unaware or uninformed for a significant period.
But one day I will see the light
Despite my past lack of understanding, I anticipate gaining clarity in the future.
I want to know, I want to know I just got to know
Reiterating the intense desire to know, emphasizing its importance.
It takes you to prove you love me
Proving your love for me is essential in demonstrating its authenticity.
You can prove it sure as the world is round
Asserting that love can be proven, drawing a comparison to the certainty of the world being round.
But I know from your ways and actions
Despite potential proofs, I sense disappointment based on your behavior.
I have a feeling you have let me down
Expressing a feeling of being let down based on observed actions and attitudes.
I want to know, I want to know I just got to know
Reiteration of the strong desire to gain understanding and clarity.

Vamp (a musical interlude or repetition without lyrics).
I want to know, I want to know I just got to know
Emphasizing the intense desire to know, repeating it for emphasis.
