Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Let's go walkin' on the water

Come all the way, please

I wanna know

Should I stay or go?

[Verse 2]

No need to be scared

Let's jump into the day

I wanna know

I think I oughta go

[Verse 3]

Close your eyes and make believe

You can do whatever you please

I wanna know

I think I better go

[Verse 4]

Let's go walkin' on the water

Now you think I'm Satan's daughter

I wanna know

Please let me go

[Verse 5]

Just too quick

Now I think I'm gonna be sick

I wanna know

Should I stay or go?

[Verse 6]

I'm trying for the future

It's funny that way

I wanna know

I wanna know

[Verse 7]

I took a look into the hate

It made me feel very up to date

I wanna know

Should I stay or go?

[Verse 8]

Hold me tight, down on my knees

So I don't go burning 'cross the breeze

I wanna know

I wanna know

[Instrumental]

I wanna know

Should I stay or go?

[Instrumental]

Burning 'cross the breeze

Burning 'cross the breeze
