    Lyrics »

Talk on the town says I might go solo
A good friend of mine saw you leavin' by your back door

(Chorus)
I need to know I need to know
Well if you say you're gonna leave then you better say so
I need to know I need to know
Because I don't know how long
Well I can hold on
If you're makin' me wait
And you're leadin' me on
Ooh I need to know
I need to know

Who would've thought that I'd fall for his lies
All of a sudden it's me on the outside

(Chorus), guitar solo, (chorus

CommentsRecorded and mixed at: Shelter Studios, Hollywood, CA (Gone Gator Records/MCA Records) "That was done real fast," Mike says. "It's just the two guitars live. We did it the afternoon it was written, recorded in two or three takes. The guitar interplay is real good." "That album was very hastily done," Tom says. "It was really all written on the road. I remember trying really hard to do something different from the first album, maybe to a fault. When it came out it did okay. Better than the first one, actually, it got us our first gold record in America. Though I still thought the first one was a much better record."
