Lyrics
Gotta Know Ya
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Gotta know why you look familiar;
gotta know who this face can be;
gotta know if I'm only dreaming;
gotta know why it has to be.
I gotta know everything;
I gotta know the Ace, Jack, Queen and King.
Gotta know ya!
Coulda been a rich man or a pauper;
coulda been a fishing man at sea;
Gotta know if you know the answer;
gotta know why it has to be.
I gotta know everything;
I gotta know the Ace, Jack, Queen and King.
Gotta know ya!
Seven colors and seven wonders
have never interested me at all.
You can talk about blood and thunder,
but you might just as well talk to a wall.
Gotta know why you look familiar;
gotta know who this face can be.
Gotta know if I'm only dreaming;
gotta know why it has to be.
I gotta know everything;
I gotta know the Ace, Jack, Queen and King.
Gotta know ya!
