Dua Lipa covers Arctic Monkeys Do I Wanna Know? in the Live Lounge for BBC Radio 1

[wilpaulii]

Missed a chance to title this “Dua Wanna Know” 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[jaredlambe]

Hearing this stripped back acoustic version really makes you appreciate the writing even more.

[Alpha_]

Being a big fan of Arctic Monkeys. I love this version. She owns it. The lyrics resonate really well with just the piano and her voice.

[TheVirtualGroomroom]

I love the intentional breaks in her voice. It's a really beautiful way to portray emotion.

[M.Monroe-ml]

Wow she sings it so personal. That's why I dig it so much. I love this.

[ZFA]

Never realized how sad the lyrics were until I heard this. Absolutely beautiful, in despair.

[sjoerd.]

As an Arctic Monkeys fan, I can definitely respect this version

[krisinalana]

I did not realize how sensual this song is until now. Wow.

[leahz]

The original song : make me want to go to a bar and drink until i have a one night stand

The cover dua Lipa did : make me want to sit in the couch with a glass of wine

The cover hozier did : make me want to get drunk with a bottle of whiskey and cry

[noriakikakyoin]

She should sing more songs like this. It showcases her amazing vocals so well!

[fxrnx]

She should try more songs with this kind of vibe
It suits her really well

[WTHFX]

Her timbre is uniquely suited to the dance idiom. She's got a great sense of rhythm. Almost like a sexy and chilled out Bill Withers-esque control of phrasing.

[harrisonrjjego]

If the chorus were a bit stronger, this version could sound like a Bond theme

[juniperberryyyy]

*Arctic Monkeys:* You have feelings for someone and you're not sure if they feel the same
*Dua Lipa:* You've been with that person for a while and the honeymoon phase is over and you still love them but you feel like they might be falling out of love
*Hozier:* That person ended things and you can't get over them yet.

[Nekonyanchan]

This is when the party is over and you just sit there on the floor, with a drink in your hand. Staring blankly, thinking where did it all go wrong

[spacecat]

You know the lyrics are brilliant when every cover gives it a different meaning ☺️☺️

[juliagomes]

this girl has a totally special voice, this is what i call gift.

[alwaystiredboy]

when Dua is focused like this, eyes closed, not thinking about what she looks like, there are few people who can sing like this girl.

[gabriellacunha]

this is a really sad song and I've never realized it until I heard this version. honestly, I don't know which one is better

Lyrics/Paroles :

Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get the fear that you can't shift the tide?
That sticks around like something's in your teeth
Are there some aces up your sleeve?

Have you no idea that you're in deep?
I've dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow
And I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do i wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
I sorta hoped that you’d stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you

So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if you're heart's still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt
It's just I'm constantly on the cusp
Of trying to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
We could be together if you wanted to

(Do i wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
I sorta hoped that you’d stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?(1)
Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you

(Do i wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways

(Sad to see you go)
I sorta hoped that you’d stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

(Do i wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling down
(Do i wanna know?)
Do you want me crawlin' back to you?

Est-ce que tes joues sont colorées?
N'as-tu jamais la peur de ne pas pouvoir changer le courant?
Qui reste dans les parages commme quelque chose entre tes dents

Y a-t-il quelques as dans ta manche?
N'as-tu pas idée à quel point tu es impliquée
J'ai rêvé de toi presque toutes les nuits cette semaine
Combien de secrets peux-tu garder ?
Parce qu'il y a cette chanson que j'ai trouvée qui me fait penser à toi d'une certaine façon
Et je l'écoute sans arrêt
Jusqu'à que je m'endorme
En renversant des verres sur mon canapé

(Est-ce que je veux savoir?)
Si ce sentiment est réciproque
(Triste de te voir partir)
J'espérais en quelque sorte que tu resterais
(Bébé, nous savons tous les deux)
Que les nuits sont principalement faites pour dire des choses que tu ne peux dire le jour d'après

Je retourne vers toi en rampant
As-tu pensé à appeler quand tu étais ivre?
Parce que je le fais toujours
Peut-être que je suis trop occupé à être tien pour tomber amoureux d'une autre
Maintenant j'ai réfléchi
Ramper vers toi

Alors as-tu les tripes?
Je me demandais si ton cœur est toujours ouvert
Et si c'est le cas je voudrais savoir à quelle heure il ferme
Calme-toi et
Je suis désolé d'interrompre
C'est juste que je suis constamment sur le point
D'essayer de t'embrasser
Je ne sais pas si tu te sens comme moi

On pourrait être ensemble si tu le voulais

(Est-ce que je veux savoir?)
Si ce sentiment est réciproque
(Triste de te voir partir)
J'espérais en quelques sorte que tu resterais
(Bébé, nous savons tous les deux)
Que les nuits sont principalement faites pour dire des choses que tu ne peux dire le jour d'après

Je retourne vers toi en rampant
As-tu pensé à appeler quand tu étais ivre?
Parce que je le fais toujours
Peut-être que je suis trop occupé à être tien pour tomber amoureux d'une autre
Maintenant j'ai réfélchi
Ramper vers toi


Est-ce que je veux savoir?
Si ce sentiment est réciproque
(Triste de te voir partir)
J'espérais en quelque sorte que tu resterais
(Bébé, nous savons tous les deux)
Que les nuits sont principalement faites pour dire des choses que tu ne peux dire le jour d'après

(Est-ce que je veux savoir?)
Trop occupé à être tien pour tomber amoureux
(Triste de te voir partir)
As-tu pensé à appeler
(Est-ce que je veux savoir?)
Me veux-tu rampant à toi?
