Wanna know, I said I wanna know
Is this the way it should feel?
'Cause since I fell in love, yeah, since I fell in love
Life has been so unreal
And do we carry on
With the same old song
Year after year?

Wanna know, I said I wanna know
Is this the way it will be?
From now on, and on and on
'Til the sun in the sky, she disappears
And do we carry on
With the same old song
Year after year?

It cuts like a knife and it chills me to the bone
When I think of all the people in life I have known
Who jumped into the fire, each a victim of desire
I said, they could not get much higher, except atop a funeral pyre
We had a good thing going, but no way of knowing [that old Nick was around]*

Wanna know, I said I wanna know
Is this the way it should feel?
'Cause since I fell in love, yeah, since I fell in love
Life has been so unreal
And do we carry on
With the same old song
Year after year?

Cuts like a knife and it chills me to the bone
When I think of all the people in life I have known
Who jumped into the fire, each a victim of desire
I said, they could not get much higher, except atop a funeral pyre
We had a good thing going, but no way of knowing [that old Nick was around*]

Wanna know, I said I wanna know
Is this the way it should feel?
'Cause since I fell in love, yeah, since I fell in love
Life has been so unreal
And do we carry on
With the same old song
Year after year
