about

Wily Bo Walker weaves a cinematic tale with this version of 'I Want to Know', a song which he has revisited from his own back-catalog

Retold in a whole new groovalicious, roof liftin', funkin', rockin' style, 'I Want to Know' features a backbeat reminiscent of The Temptations' 'Papa Was a Rolling Stone' couple with Isaac Hayes 'Theme from Shaft'

A firm crowd-pleaser when played 'live', this version a visionary journey of Americana style story-telling

Available as Hi Res Audio 24Bit 96khz FLAC or WAV download

lyrics

WELL IT SURE TURNED OUT LIKE SOME KIND OF SUMMER
WHAT WITH THE HEAT AND THE WIND AND THE RAIN
WE WERE LIVING IN THE DEEP SOUTH
A PASSION BURNING IN OUR VEINS
ONE NIGHT BABY SAYS SHE FEELS THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG HERE
SHE FEEL A TERROR LIKE HER HEART BEATING
DEEP INSIDE
AND THEN BABY SAID SHE WOULD
BABY SAYS SHE MIGHT
JUST TAKE A LITTLE DRIVE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

I WANNA KNOW
WHERE BABY DON’T GO
I WANNA KNOW
I WANNA KNOW
WHERE BABY DON’T GO
WHERE GOES MY BABY? MY BABY TONIGHT?

WHEN IT TURNED INTO THE COOL OF NOVEMBER
I KIND OF KNEW I’D NEVER SEE HER AGAIN
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT
WHEN YOU TURN OUT THE LIGHT
I SWEAR I HEARD HER
CALLING OUT MY NAME

TODAY I HEARD THEY'D FOUND HER CHEVY
BURIED HALFWAY DOWN IN THAT TAHOE MUD
IT WAS EMPTY INSIDE
LIKE MY BABY’S EYES
SHE TOOK TO DISAPPEAR OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

I WANNA KNOW
WHERE BABY DON’T GO
I WANNA KNOW
I WANNA KNOW
WHERE BABY DON’T GO
WHERE GOES MY BABY? MY BABY TONIGHT?

AND I’VE BEEN DRIVING THROUGH THESE STREETS IN THE MOONLIGHT
TRYING TO FIND A REASON WHY
IT'LL TAKE A FOOL LIKE ME
NOT TO REALISE, REALISE…
I NEED MY BABY TONIGHT…
