I Wanna Know
Unveiling Love's Mystery: The Yankees' 'I Wanna Know' Story
Lyrics
There she is she's a-walking down the street
Expressing admiration for a girl walking down the street.
This pretty girl just swept me off my feet
The girl's beauty has captivated the speaker.
I wanna call her but I don't know her name
Desire to contact the girl, but lacking information like her name.
And will I ever see her again
Uncertainty about the possibility of meeting her again.
Someone please let me know
Plea for information about the girl's whereabouts.
I wanna know
Expressing a strong desire to know more about the girl.
Here's she comes walking by again
Excitement as the girl walks by again.
My heart starts beating and send shockwaves through my brain
Physical and emotional reactions to the girl's presence.
But I don't know just a-what to say
Feeling unsure about what to say in her presence.
A-when she turns and she looks my way
Acknowledging the girl's attention and unsure how to respond.
Please tell me how to let my feelings show
Seeking advice on expressing emotions and feelings.
I gotta know
Reiterating the strong desire to know more about the girl.
Well here we are she's a-walking down the aisle
Imagining a scenario where the girl is walking down the aisle, possibly at a wedding.
My knees are shaking and my temperature runs high
Feeling nervous and excited as the girl approaches.
Yes, now she's standing next to me
Visualizing a future where the girl is standing next to the speaker.
And she will love me for eternity
Belief that the girl will love the speaker forever.
And my heart is all a glow
Experiencing intense positive emotions, likely love.
Cause now I know
Expressing satisfaction and confidence in knowing the girl.
Now I know
Reiteration of the speaker's newfound knowledge about the girl.
Yes I know
Affirmation of understanding and certainty about the girl.
Now I know
Final confirmation of the speaker's knowledge about the girl.
