I Gotta Know What's Going On Lyrics

Lyrics
I gotta know what's going on
Why don't you stop crying?
Just tell me what have I done wrong
You think I've been lying
I tell you what I'm gonna do
Why don't you believe me?
I'm gonna proof my love to you
Please don't say you leave me 'cause when you go, I can't show you, how much I love you
Love is love, it's not a thing to play with (Love is love)
Love to me means more than, "Just have fun" (Love is love)
Never the less, a sweet caress, a tender kiss, is something I can't miss
No, I can't miss
I gotta know what's going on
Why don't you stop crying?
Just tell me what have I done wrong
I never been lying
You know it's true
I can't go on living without you
'Cause I know that I can't live without you because I love you
