I Gotta Know Now
Love's Uncertainty: A Musical Journey of Doubt and Devotion
Lyrics
Right now we're sitting on top of the world.
Expressing the current sense of success or happiness.
Just me and you, girl.
Highlighting the intimacy between the speaker and the girl.
Everything is going our way.
Emphasizing the positive trajectory of their lives.
But I know there's gonna come a day.
Awareness of an inevitable future challenge or change.
When you're gonna meet somebody new.
Anticipating the girl meeting someone new.
And he'll tell that his love is true.
Expecting the new person to profess love.
Remember I'm your man, while he's holding your hand.
Asserting the speaker's continued love and commitment.
That I love you so and I, I, I gotta know
Expressing the need for reassurance and confirmation of love.
If his words are sweet and tender will your heart surrender.
Questioning the sincerity of the new person's words.
I gotta know now, yeah, right now.
Emphasizing the urgency of knowing the girl's feelings.
If he bought you silks and lace would he soon take my place?
Asking if material gestures could replace the speaker.
I gotta know now, yeah, right now.
Reiterating the need for immediate clarity on the relationship.
I'm not putting our love to the test.
Denying a desire to test the love but seeking the best decision.
But I want to do what's best.
Expressing a genuine concern for the well-being of the relationship.
Either you will or you won't or you do or you don't.
Presenting alternative outcomes and choices.
But I love you so, and I, I gotta know.
Reiterating strong love and the urgency of understanding the girl's stance.
One more thing,
Introducing additional questions about long-term commitment.
When I'm old and gray, will you love me the same way.
Concern about future love during old age.
I gotta know now, yeah, right now.
Stressing the immediate need for assurance.
When the chips are down, will you still be around.
Questioning loyalty during challenging times.
I gotta know now, yeah, right now.
Reiterating urgency in resolving uncertainties.
No need in carryin' on.
Expressing a potential end if love is fading.
If our love will soon be gone.
Highlighting the importance of addressing the uncertain future.
Will you turn and go when I need you so.
Expressing vulnerability and the fear of being abandoned.
Tell me the truth.
Demanding honesty and openness.
Cause I, I, I gotta know.
Reiterating the urgency of knowing the truth about the relationship.
I, I, I gotta know now, right now, right now, right now
Further emphasis on the immediate need for clarity.
I, I, I gotta know now, oh I gotta know now, baby.
Repetition for emphasis on the urgency of knowing the truth.
