Do I Wanna Know?
Arctic Monkeys · 2013
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- (Do I wanna know?)
- If this feelin' flows both ways?
- (Sad to see you go)
- Was sorta hopin' that you'd stay
Echo the hook
- Now I've thought it through
- Crawlin' back to you
- So have you got the guts?
- Been wonderin' if your heart's still open
