I Wanna Know You Lyrics

Oh you're powerless baby -- I love your attitude now
You truly cherish your freedoms
It's too much to be abused now
And today you're so blase
While the camera don't lie to you
Yes it's too familiar -- we have learned to ignore this

I wanna know you forever
I wanna savour the pleasure
How I wanna hear your story
You're gonna find your glory
Don't you know now

I've been watching you daily at the hand of injustice
Yeah you've learned to feel nothing
Yeah you're numbed by the tragedy

I wanna know you forever
I wanna savour the pleasure
How I wanna hear your story
You're gonna find your glory

What makes you tick? What makes you feel?
What makes you move? What makes you glow?

I wanna know you forever
I wanna savour the pleasure
How I wanna hear your story
You're gonna find your glory
Don't you know now
Does the camera crew cry while they're filming your news?
I don't want to take you for granted

No...
I wanna know you forever
I wanna savour the pleasure
How I wanna feel your story
You're gonna find your glory

What makes you tick? What makes you breathe?
What makes you feel? What makes you go?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
