[Verse 1]
People don't love like they used to do they now
Starin' at your face in a glass frame 50 years down
I wanna love the kind of love that my grandma talked about
So if you're talkin' 'bout walls let's talk about knockin' 'em down

[Chorus]
I wanna know you, so close nothin' in between
I wanna know you, so go ahead and tell me everything
I wanna know you, like the street corner singers know all them strings
I just wanna know you, nothin' in between

[Verse 2]
Closer than my hands in the pockets of your ripped blue jeans
Closer than a needle in a groove make the record sing
Closer than my back to the ropes like fire no smoke
Like soldiers stuck in battle know their letters from home

[Chorus]
I wanna know you, so close nothin' in between
I wanna know you, so go ahead and tell me everything
I wanna know you, like the street corner singers know all them strings
I just wanna know you, nothin' in between
Nothin' in between
In between
[Bridge]
People don't love like they used to do they now
So if you're talkin' 'bout walls let's talk about knockin' 'em down


[Chorus]
I wanna know you, so close nothin' in between
I wanna know you, so go ahead and tell me everything
I just wanna know you, like the street corner singers know all them strings
I just wanna know you, nothin' in between

[Outro]
I just wanna know you
