Wannabe (Lyrics):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Ha ha ha ha ha<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Yo, I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want my future, forget my past

If you wanna get with me, better make it fast
Now don’t go wasting my precious time
Get your act together we could be just fine<\/p>\n\n\n\n


I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends
(Gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever, friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
Taking is too easy, but that’s the way it is<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Oh, what do you think about that?
Now you know how I feel
Say you can handle my love, are you for real?
(Are you for real?)
I won’t be hasty, I’ll give you a try
If you really bug me then I’ll say goodbye<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Yo, I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah<\/p>\n\n\n\n


If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends
(Gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever, friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
(You’ve got to give)
Taking is too easy, but that’s the way it is<\/p>\n\n\n\n


So, here’s a story from A to Z
You wanna get with me, you gotta listen carefully
We got Em in the place who likes it in your face
You got G like MC who likes it on a
Easy V doesn’t come for free, she’s a real lady
And as for me, ha you’ll see<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around<\/p>\n\n\n\n


If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends
(Gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever, friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
(You’ve got to give)
Taking is too easy, but that’s the way it is<\/p>\n\n\n\n


If you wanna be my lover
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta
Slam, slam, slam, slam (make it last forever)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and zigazig ah

If you wanna be my lover<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
