Wannabe Lyrics

[00:04.24] Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
[00:06.74] So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
[00:09.28] I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
[00:10.96] So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
[00:12.99] I wanna (hey!), I wanna (hey!), I wanna (hey!), I wanna (hey!)
[00:15.54] I wanna really, really, really wanna "zig-a-zig", ah
[00:18.30] If you want my future, forget my past
[00:22.47] If you wanna get with me, better make it fast
[00:26.99] Now don't go wasting my precious time

[00:41.46] I wanna really, really, really wanna "zig-a-zig", ah
[00:44.17] If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends (gotta get with my friends)
[00:48.62] Make it last forever, friendship never ends
[00:52.84] If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
[00:57.33] Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is
[01:01.68] Oh what you think about that? Now you know how I feel
[01:06.21] Say you could handle my love, are you for real? (Are you for real?)
[01:10.65] I won't be hasty, I'll give you a try
[01:14.59] If you really bug me, then I'll say goodbye
[01:18.34] Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
[01:20.99] So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
[01:22.86] I wanna (hey!), I wanna (hey!), I wanna (hey!), I wanna (hey!)

[01:27.71] If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends (gotta get with my friends)
[01:32.29] Make it last forever, friendship never ends
[01:36.37] If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give (you've got to give)
