Lyrics[Verse 1]
I don't practice Santeria, I ain't got no crystal ball
Well, I had a million dollars, but I'd, I'd spend it all
If I could find that jaina and that sancho that she's found
Well, I'd pop a cap in sancho and I'd slap her down

[Chorus]
What I really wanna know, ah, baby, mmm
What I really want to say, I can't define
Well, it's love that I need, oh
My soul will have to
[Verse 2]
Wait 'til I get back, find a jaina of my own
Daddy's gonna love one and all
I feel the break, feel the break, feel the break, and I got' live it up
Oh, yeah, ah-huh, well, I swear that I

[Chorus]
What I really wanna know, ah, baby
What I really want to say, I can't define
Bad love, make it go
My soul will have to

[Chorus]
Mmm, what I really wanna say, ah, baby
What I really wanna say is, "I've got mine
And I'll make it, yes, I'm comin' up"
Tell sanchito that

[Verse 3]
If he knows what is good for him, he best go run and hide
Daddy's got a new .45
And I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down sancho's throat
Believe me when I say that I got something for his punk ass

[Chorus]
What I really wanna know, my baby
Ooh, what I really wanna say is, "There's just one"
Way back, and I'll make it, yeah
My soul will have to wait

Yeah, yeah, yeah
