Do You Want To Know Me (Dub Mix) - Lee "Scratch" Perry & Subatomic Sound System

I used to pace around a lot thinking deep to myself Why do people like to talk? It can't be good for their health Having strong opinions based on nothing at all Except they heard it from a mighty smart man who knows it all It used to drive me mental, always on the brain The first thing in the morn' and when I go to bed again I heard that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones If they're talking about me, they're leaving someone else alone So, what do you want to know? And I'll tell you the gods honest truth Well, what did you hear last night? Would I ever lie to you? And I couldn't get over that, he didn't lick that off the grass But you never heard that from me That's the way it's always going to be A few years on and I've gone through a transition Calling people out on gossip is no longer a mission Instead, when they come at me with the bullshit There's no better man to give them their fill of it If that's what keeps them going, who am I to deny them? The cycle is recycled and there's no point in rising 'Cause rising leads to ruction, and ruction leads to fighting Fighting leads to jail time, sure that could be a lifetime So, what do you want to know? And I'll tell you the gods honest truth Well, what did you hear last night? Would I ever lie to you? And I couldn't get over that, he didn't lick that off the grass But you never heard that from me That's the way it's always going to be What about the babysitter, a 5th cousin of Hitler? In every single house and I've heard there's badness in her And then the painter John from Tyrone or Inishowen What's he doing painting anyway? He's involved with Al Capone A little birdie told me, I read it in the paper I've seen it on the internet, I heard it from a neighbour And everybody's talking, but I don't know them really well You're not the first one said that, so I would well believe it So, what do you want to know? And I'll tell you the gods honest truth Well, what did you hear last night? Would I ever lie to you? I couldn't get over that, he didn't lick that off the grass But you never heard that from me That's the way it's always going to be So, what do you want to know? And I'll tell you the gods honest truth Well, what did you hear last night? Would I ever lie to you? I couldn't get over that, he didn't lick that off the grass But you never heard that from me That's the way it's always going to be

You'll never know how much I really love you You'll never know how much I really care Listen Do you want to know a secret? Do you promise not to tell?

Give me time To realize my crime Let me love and steal I have danced inside your eyes How can I be real Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Precious kisses, words that burn me Lovers never ask you why In my heart the fire's burnin' Choose my color find a star Precious people always tell me That's a step, a step too far Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Words are few I have spoken I could waste a thousand years Wrapped in sorrow words are token Come inside and catch my tears You've been talkin' but believe me If its true you do not know This boy loves without a reason I'm prepared to let you go If it's love you want from me Then take it away Everything is not what you see It's over again Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Cry, cry, cry Cry, cry, cry Cry, cry, cry Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry
