[English]

They say around the way you've asked for me

There's even talk about you wanting me

I must admit that's what I wanna hear

But that's just talk until you take me there, oh

If it's true, don't leave me all alone out here (oh-oh)

Wonderin' if you're ever gonna take me there (don't leave me all alone)

Tell me what you're feeling 'cause I need to know

Girl, you gotta let me know which way to go

'Cause I need to know, I need to know

Tell me baby girl 'cause I need to know

I need to know, I need to know (don't leave me all alone)

Tell me baby girl 'cause I need to know

My every thought is of this being true

It's getting harder not to think of you

Girl, I'm exactly where I wanna be

The only thing is I need you here with me, oh

If it's true, don't leave me all alone out here

Wonderin' if you're ever gonna take me there (don't leave me all alone)

Tell me what you're feelin' 'cause I need to know

Girl, you gotta let me know which way to go

'Cause I need to know, I need to know

Tell me baby girl 'cause I need to know (tell me)

I need to know, I need to know (don't leave me all alone)

Tell me baby girl 'cause I need to know (don't leave me all alone)

(Oh, don't leave me all alone) 'cause I need to know, I need to know

...

Tell me baby girl 'cause I need to know

I need to know, I need to know

Tell me baby girl 'cause I need to know oh

If it's true, don't leave me all alone out here

Wonderin' if you're ever gonna take me there

Tell me what you're feelin' 'cause I need to know

Girl, you gotta let me know which way to go

'Cause I need to know, I need to know

Tell me baby girl 'cause I need to know (tell me)

I need to know, I need to know (don't leave me all alone)

Tell me baby girl 'cause I need to know

If it's true, don't leave me all alone out here

Wonderin' if you're ever gonna take me there

Tell me what you're feelin' 'cause I need to know

Girl, you gotta let me know which way to go (don't leave me all alone)

'Cause I need to know (don't leave me all alone)

I need to know (don't leave me all alone)

Tell me baby girl 'cause I need to know

I need to know (don't leave me all alone)

I need to know

Tell me baby girl 'cause I need to know
