[Intro]
Hey kids
Let's go!

[Verse 1]
Baby, you stole my heart
I don't know what to do
Got one problem on my mind
Do you feel the way I do?

[Chorus]
I wanna know
Give me a sign, girl
Open your heart and tell me that you're mine
I wanna know
Give me a sign, girl
Open your heart and tell me that you're mine

[Verse 2]
When you walk down the street
The cats don't even make a noise
They worship at your feet
Acting just like little boys
I'm standing in the shadows baby
I got one thing that's on my mind
Gonna make you love me baby
If it takes the rest of my life

[Chorus]
I wanna know
Give me a sign, girl
Open your heart and tell me that you're mine
I wanna know
Give me a sign, girl
Open your heart and tell me that you're mine

[Bridge]
It takes a lot of guts to show you how I feel
Well, about you
Just say the words and let me know that this is real for you
Or is it just a dream
(Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream)

[Verse 3]
I'm very patient baby
And I've got a lot of time
I can see a clear horizon
You and me standing side by side

[Chorus]
I wanna know
Give me a sign, girl
Open your heart and tell me that you're mine
I wanna know
Give me a sign, girl
Open your heart and tell me that you're mine
I wanna know
Give me a sign, girl
Open your heart and tell me that you're mine
I wanna know
Give me a sign, girl
Open your heart and tell me that you're mine

[Outro]
How you feel?
Babe, babe
Let me know!

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know

Living Colour is an American rock band from New York City, formed in 1984. Stylistically, the band’s music is a creative fusion influenced by heavy metal, funk, jazz, hip hop, country, and alternative rock. Their lyrics range from the personal to the political, in some of the latter cases attacking Eurocentrism and racism in America.

Living Colour rose to fame with their debut album Vivid in 1988. Although the band scored a number of hits, they are best remembered for their signature anthem “Cult of Personality”, which won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1990. They were also named Best New Artist at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards and won their second Grammy Award for their follow-up album Time’s Up. After disbanding in 1995, Living Colour reunited in late 2000.
