Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
[Verse 2]
I sit here by my window (Alone)
And listen to the breeze go
I wonder why it happens
But do I really wanna know?
It seems like just yesterday
I had everything in this whole wide world
[Verse 3]
(Where is that girl?) Help me somebody
(Where is that girl?) Help me somebody
(Where is that girl?) Won't somebody tell me?
Where is that girl? Where is that girl? Where is that girl?
[Verse 4]
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
[Verse 5]
Is this really, really happening? (Dream)
Am I alone tonight?
I have such a lovely lady
Why couldn't I feel right?
She gave me everything I ever needed
With love, warm into the air
What kind of fool was I?
To ever let her go?
Somebody tell me
Where can she be?
[Verse 6]
(Where is that girl?) Help me somebody
(Where is that girl?) Help me somebody
(Where is that girl?) Won't somebody tell me?
Where is that girl? Where is that girl? Where is that girl?
[Verse 7]
Do you really want an answer? (No, no, no, no)
Do you really want to know? (Ooh, ooh)
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
[Verse 8]
Is there any room? Ah-ha
For reconsideration?
My whole world depends on our reconciliation
Have I lost you, girl?
(Do you really want to know?)
Oh oh, are you gone for good?
(Do you really want to know?)
Somebody told me
They saw you at the club
Sitting with a friend
(Somebody tell me)
(Somebody tell me)
Have you found another love, baby?
Have you found another love?
[Verse 9]
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
Do you really want an answer?
Do you?
[Verse 10]
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
Do you really want an answer?
Do you really want to know?
