I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me (x2)

What you, ooh, uh, what you do?,   Made a move, coulda made a move,
If I knew I’d be with you,  Is it too late to pursue?

I bite my tongue, it’s a bad habit, Kinda mad that I didn’t take a stab at it,
Thought you were too good for me, my dear, Never gave me time of day, my dear,
It’s okay, things happen for, Reasons that I think are sure, yeah

I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me (x4)

Say to me (please just say to me), If this could wind up
I wish you wouldn’t play with me, I wanna know (oh no)

Can I bite your tongue like my bad habit? Would U mind if I tried to make a pass at it?
Were you not too good for me, my dear? Funny you come back to me, my dear
It’s okay, things happen for,  Reasons that I can’t ignore, yeah

I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me (x2)

You can’t surprise a Gemini,  I’m everywhere, I’m cross-eyed, &
Now that you’re back, I can’t decide,  If I decide if you’re invited
You always knew the way to wow me, F’ around, get tongue-tied, &
I turn it on, I make it rowdy,  Then carry on, but I’m not hidin’
Em         Am                           D              Bm

You grabbin’ me hard ’cause you know what you found

G      C          C                 B7

Is biscuits, is gravy, babe

You can’t surprise a Gemini, But you know it’s biscuits, is gravy, babe
I knew you’d come back around, ‘Cause you know it’s biscuits, it’s gravy, babe
Let’s f’ in the back of the mall, lose control, Go stupid, go crazy, babe
I know I’ll be in your heart ’til the end, You’ll miss me, don’t beg me, babe
