Well, the talk on the street says you might go solo
Good friend of mine saw you leavin′ by your back door

I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
If you think you're gonna leave, then you better say so
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
Because I don′t know how long
I can hold on

If you're makin' me wait
If you′re leadin′ me on
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)

Who would have thought that you'd fall for his lie?
All of a sudden, it′s me on the outside

I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
If you think you're gonna leave, then you better say so
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
Because I don′t know how long
I can hold on

If you're makin′ me wait
If you're leadin' me on
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
Whoa! (Whoa!)

Baby, I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
If you think you′re gonna leave, then you better say so
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)
Because I don′t know how long
I can hold on

If you're makin′ me wait
If you're leadin′ me on
I need to know (I need to know)
I need to know (I need to know)

Baby, I need to know
