All I Need To Know

Under the light of a cigarette, you lose all sense of your etiquette You're acting wild, playing like a child All tough and loud but without a sound Calling everybody names, asked for help but nobody came You're black and green, somewhere in between A hard place and a rock With the clock ticking away, you're time is drifting by I can see a timid truth, in the teardrop in your eye Tell me once, tell me twice Tell me something that you shouldn't All the times you thought you couldn't Now you'd tell me but you wouldn't Tell me thrice, tell me nice Show me all your deepest secrets I won't rest a day until you tell me All I need to know Now's not the time to play nice No teriyaki chicken no sushi rice Eat what you can straight out of the can Cos you won't have long to sing your song Keep your finger-tapping light Or you'll wake the neighbors in the dead of night The city lights are as cold as ice No mercy or sympathy Something's lurking in the shadows, away from prying eyes Though I see it peeking through, come and see me in the light Tell me once, tell me twice Tell me something that you shouldn't All the times you thought you couldn't Now you'd tell me but you wouldn't Tell me thrice, tell me nice Show me all your deepest secrets I won't rest a day until you tell me All I need to know Tell me once, tell me twice Tell me something that you shouldn't All the times you thought you couldn't Now you'd tell me but you wouldn't Tell me thrice, tell me nice Show me all your deepest secrets I won't rest a day until you tell me All I need to know There's no telling what will be till I know All I need to know
