The Temptations – I Gotta Know Now lyrics
Right now we're sitting on top of the world.
Just me and you, girl.
Everything is going our way.
But I know there's gonna come a day.
When you're gonna meet somebody new.
And he'll tell that his love is true.
Remember I'm your man, while he's holding your hand.
That I love you so and I, I, I gotta know

If his words are sweet and tender will your heart surrender.
I gotta know now, yeah, right now.
If he bought you silks and lace would he soon take my place?
I gotta know now, yeah, right now.
I'm not putting our love to the test.
But I want to do what's best.
Either you will or you won't or you do or you don't.
But I love you so, and I, I gotta know.

One more thing,
When I'm old and gray, will you love me the same way.
I gotta know now, yeah, right now.
When the chips are down, will you still be around.
I gotta know now, yeah, right now.
No need in carryin' on.
If our love will soon be gone.
Will you turn and go when I need you so.
Tell me the truth.
Cause I, I, I gotta know.

I, I, I gotta know now, right now, right now, right now
I, I, I gotta know now, oh I gotta know now, baby.
