Pepper - Wanna Know You lyrics

rate me

I saw a street corner angel

Platinum problems pressed against the wall

She paid her dues, bought stiletto shoes

Had a real mean pimp named Paul

Well Paul tied her up to the railroad tracks

'Cause he didn't get the money in time

I heard her screamin' loud from the other side of town

And the train was comin' down the line

Exclamation points jumped out her eyes

Rips all across her fishnet thighs

Big tears rolling

As I'm strugglin' to cut her loose

She had a little bit of karma above her left eye

It came in the shape of a scar

I tried to help her out with the ride back home

But she jumped right outta my car

Baby, I just really wanna know you

Can't keep me away, not if you try

Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry

I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me

Well since that night i really thought about things

I fell for an angel with the dirty wings

Now I have to find her, let her know how I feel

Gotta tighten up some business before I make it real

Paul didn't like that i pulled her off the tracks

Real late last saturday night

I knew he was mad when i got to the pad

'Cause he left me a real nice surprise

Dropped a little message in my mailbox

Told me where to meet him, that we had to talk

He said I shouldn't mess with his curly locks

And if I did again he'd pump me full of shots

I took that meeting with the pimp named Paul

Stabbed him in the heart and watched him fall

Went lookin' for my angel all over the place

I found her in the movie by Andrew Blake

Baby, I just really wanna know you

Can't keep me away, not if you try

Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry

I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me

Baby, I just really wanna know you

Can't keep me away, not if you try

Got lost in your town, ain't in no hurry

I'm faster than your man, he'll never catch me
