Nikka Costa - I Gotta Know lyrics

I gotta know If I give my heart to you That everything you say is true And everything you say you'll do you'll do I gotta know If I bare my soul right here You'll never run or disappear You'll hold me till the hours turn to years And I gotta say My heart has never been so sure You've mended every piece that tore And now my love's too strong to tear away So I gotta know If you feel the same my dear Let's justify why we are here Say the words that I long to hear... 'Cause I've been so strong for so long I never needed anyone But my strenght is wearing out my heart So I'm letting my guard down 'Cause I feel like I've finally found somebody But I gotta know I gotta know You'll still kiss away my tears Even if they make no sense Even if they put you on defense I gotta know Throught the times when it gets rough That our love will be enough And we'll never let it go I know only time will tell But I need to hear it anyway 'Cause now my love's too strong to tear away
