I Just Wanna Know

Story Behind The Song

Like most of my tunes..I always think of a scene first...I walked into this club one night...it was, literally, underground...and, it was set up like a supper club complete with stage large enough for a 5-6 piece jazz combo and a sultry singer...it was completely empty..Upon entering the room I immediately pictured it in the 50's...smokey, sultry...with nightclub sounds...I picture a very plain woman entering this crowed, smokey club, focusing her gaze entirely on the sexy sax player who barely notices her...she walks to the stage and as she is walking through the room she is slowly transforming into a sexy, sultry, pouty nightclub singer.. She goes on stage, sings the song, the sax player finally notices her along with every other male in the room..and plays to her...as she finishes the song she decends the stage transforming back into the plain jane and exits the building leaving the sax player and the rest of the band wondering what the ---- just happened...I'd sell my soul to produce that music video...very very hot....for the right singer, this song is amazing...

Song Description

Although this version is more jazz in arrangement it would certainly work well put in the hands of a soul producer as a bleeding ballad. This is a straight forward "come hither" song..She wants him...really really wants him...This song requires very stong vocal chops and passion to portray the growing intensity of the feelings...the angst... needs a Whitney Houston kind of voice.

Tempo Slow (71 - 90) Lead Vocal Female Vocal

Lyrics

Title: I JUST WANNA KNOW

VERSE:
I never really noticed...for all I really know
You were just so busy doin' all the things you had to do
I'm still standin' in the background , Baby, Just wainting for some time
I know your time is precious , Darlin, well, now, so is mine

CHORUS:
I Just Wanna know if I'm wasting my time
'Cause I think it's love I'm feeling but we both know love is blind
Oh now tell me, Baby tell me...What am I supposed to do?
'Cause I'm blue....I'm so blue without you Baby....

VERSE:
You really got me wondering Darlin', If there's something wrong with me
'Cause Baby, after all this waiting, I know, it's a distinct possibility
No matter what it is I'm saying..No matter what I do
You just can't get through your head, Baby, I gotta spend a little time with you

CHORUS:
Oh well, I Juat
Wanna know if I'm wasting my time
'Cause I think it's love I'm feeling but we both know love is blind
Oh Now tell me, Baby, tell me..what am I supposed to do?
'Cause I'm blue...I'm so blue without you Baby

BRIDGE
Oh I Just Wanna know Byb...
Is there a ghost of chance for a steamy, hot romance with you?

VERSE:
Every day that passes by and people meet each other
And some become good friends, some not, and some become great lovers...
With you it's still a mystery Baby, Just what will come to be
You can't get it through your head, Darlin, You gotta spend a little time with me

REPEAT CHORUS AND VAMP OUT
