Wanna Know You Lyrics

The song Wanna Know You is performed by Pepper in the album named In With The Old in the year 2004 .

I saw a street corner angel
Platinum problems pressed against the wall
She paid her dues, bought stiletto shoes
Had a real mean pimp named Paul

Well Paul tied her up to the railroad tracks
'Cause he didn't get the money in time
I heard her screamin' loud from the other side of town
And the train was comin' down the line

Exclamation points jumped out her eyes
Rips all across her fishnet thighs
Big tears rolling as I'm strugglin' to cut her loose

She had a little bit of karma above her left eye
It hit me in the shape of a scar
I tried to help her out with the ride back home
But she jumped right outta my car

Baby, I just really wanna know you
Can't keep me away, not if you try
Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry
I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me

Well since that night I really thought about things
I fell for an angel with the dirty wings
Now I have to find her, let her know how I feel
Gotta tighten up some business before I make it real

Paul didn't like that I pulled her off the tracks
Real late last Saturday night
I knew he was mad when I got to the pad
'Cause he left me a real nice surprise

Dropped a little message in my mailbox
He told me where to meet him, that we had to talk
He said I shouldn't mess with his curly locks
And if I did again he'd pump me full of shots

I took that meeting with the pimp named Paul
Stabbed him in the heart and watched him fall
Went lookin' for my angel all over the place
I found her in the movie by Andrew Blake

Baby, I just really wanna know you
Can't keep me away, not if you try
Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry
I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me

Baby, I just really wanna know you
Can't keep me away, not if you try
Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry
I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me
