"I Need to Know" is a sad song from Tarzan: The Musical. It is sung by a Young Tarzan when he is left alone in shame.
Earlier, it is sung by Phil Collins (still in Young Tarzan's point of view) in Tarzan II.
Lyrics
Phil Collins' version
Can someone tell me where I belong
Where I should go?
Can someone show me where I'm going wrong?
I need to know
Why do I hurt the ones I love
With everything I do
If I can't be what they want of me
What am I to do
I can't go home
Oh, this much I know
It might be better if I just disappeared
Alone...I've got to find my way
Oh, and I will survive some way
If only there was a place where I could be just me
If only there was a place where I could be just me
Musical version
Young Tarzan: Will someone tell me where I belong,
Where I should go?
Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?
I need to know.
Why would I hurt the ones I love?
Why would I hurt you?
If I can't see what he wants of me,
What am I to do?
When will I be me,
The son that he can see?
There must be somebody who understands out there
Somewhere.
When will I find hope?
A place where I belong.
Surely there must be more like me out there
Somewhere.
There must be somebody just like me
Out there.
