I need to know

I need to know if you love me
I need to know if you care
I need to know if your doves are free
To fly off into the air

I need to know if you use me
I need to know if you dare
I need to know if you colour me
Like you dye your very own hair

I need to know how many there are
I need to know the score
I need to count a penny a car
For every time that you walk out the door

I need to know the margin
I need to know your line
In need to know I'm not arguin'
Wasting each other's time

I need to know the truth
I need to know the lie
I need to be given some proof
And it has got to fly

I need to know the cut to make
Before I hold the knife
I need to know if it is a mistake
To stop the blood to this life

I need to know the blade
I need to know the other side
I need to know how you made
Your very own paradise

I need to feel the weight
I need you to give me the price
Of all the things that hang on the fate
Of this our sacrifice

I need to know the letter
I need to know the law
I need to know you better
Much better than before

I need to know the business
I need to know the rhyme
I need to know if its kismet
Or if it is the century's greatest crime

I need to know your intentions
Before I reveal you mine
I need to know your contention
Then I can be content to follow your line
