Wannabe Lyrics

[00:04.29] Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
[00:06.73] So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
[00:09.22] I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
[00:10.99] So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
[00:12.98] I wanna (hey!), I wanna (hey!), I wanna (hey!), I wanna (hey!)
[00:15.50] I wanna really, really, really wanna "zig-a-zig", ah
[00:18.21] If you want my future, forget my past
[00:22.46] If you wanna get with me, better make it fast
[00:26.94] Now don't go wasting my precious time

[00:41.48] I wanna really, really, really wanna "zig-a-zig", ah
[00:44.18] If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends (gotta get with my friends)
[00:48.67] Make it last forever, friendship never ends
[00:52.87] If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
[00:57.37] Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is

[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
[01:14.55] If you really bug me, then I'll say goodbye
[01:18.39] Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
[01:20.95] So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
[01:22.90] I wanna (hey!), I wanna (hey!), I wanna (hey!), I wanna (hey!)

[01:27.78] If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends (gotta get with my friends)
[01:32.24] Make it last forever, friendship never ends
[01:36.38] If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give (you've got to give)
