Lyrics

[Chorus]
Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?
Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?
Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?
Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?
[Verse 1]
I woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew my name
He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away"
I staggered back to the underground and the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around and preachin' from my chair
[Chorus]
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
[Verse 2]
I took the tube back out of town, back to the Rolling Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown with a streak of Rin Tin Tin
I stretched back, and I hiccuped and looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan, God, there's got to be another way
[Chorus]
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Oh, who are you? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Come on, tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Oh, who the fuck are you? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
[Bridge]
Who are you?
[Chorus]
Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?
Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?
Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?
Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Come on, tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
[Verse 3]
I know there's a place you walked where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup, I only feel right on my knees
I spill out like a sewer hole, yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now after such a love as this?
[Chorus]
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Come on, tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Oh, I really wanna know (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Tell me, tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Come on, come on, who? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Oh, who the fuck are you? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Who are you? (Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Oh, tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who?)
[Outro]
I really wanna know
Oh, I really wanna know
Come on, tell me, who are you? You? You?
Oh, you
