I Really Want to Know You is a Partridge Family song.

In real life[]

The song was written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, with help from an uncredited Russ Titelman. It's a cover of a song by the Cowsills, for whom it was originally written.[1] Tom Bahler sings lead, with David Cassidy lip-synching to his voice. It can be found on The Partridge Family Album.

On the series[]

In When Mother Gets Married, the Partridges play the beginning of the song in rehearsal, and then in front of an audience. The song continues to play over a montage of Larry Metcalf spending time with Shirley Partridge and her kids.
