Lyrics

Wannabe

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 ahh

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 can be just fine

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, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really
really really wanna zigazig ahh

Chorus:
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

So what 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

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, I wanna, I wanna I wanna, I wanna really
really really wanna zigazig ahh

Repeat chorus

So here's the story from A to Z
You wanna get with me, you gotta listen carefully
We got M in the place who likes it in your face
we got G like MC who likes it on an
Easy V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady
And as for me...Hah! You'll see
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around

Repeat chorus

If you wanna be my lover
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta
You gotta, you gotta slam! Slam! Slam! Slam!
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and zigazig ahh

If you wanna be my lover

Say You'll Be There

Say you'll be there
I'm giving you everything
All that joy can bring
This I swear

Last time that we had this conversation
I decided we should be friends
Hey
But now we're going round in circles
Tell me will this deja vu never end? Oh
Now you tell me that you've fallen in love
Well I never ever thought that would be
This time you gotta take it easy
Throwing far too much emotions at me
But any fool can see they're falling
I gotta make you understand

I'm giving you everything
All that joy can bring
This I swear
(I give you everything)
And all that I want from you is a promise you will be there
Say you will be there (Say you will be there)
Won't you sing it with me

If you put two and two together
You will see what our friendship is for (Oh)
If you can't work this equation then
I guess I'll have to show you the door
There is no need to say you love me
It would be better left unsaid

I'm (I'm) giving you everything (I give you everything)
All that joy can bring this I swear (yes I swear)
And (and) all that I want from you (all I want from you) is a promise
You will be there
Yeah, I want you

Any fool can see they're falling
Gotta make you understand

I'll give you everything on this I swear
Just promise you'll always be there

I'm giving you everything (I'm giving you everything)
All that joy (all that joy can bring) can bring
This I swear (yes I swear)
And all that I want from you (all that I want from you)
Is a promise (I want you to promise you'll) you
Will be there (always be there)

I'm giving you everything (I'm giving you everything)
All that joy (all that joy can bring) can bring
This I swear (yes I swear)
And all that I want from you (all that I want from you) is a promise
(I want you to promise you'll)
You will be there (always be there)

2 Become 1

Candlelight and soul forever
A dream of you and me together
Say you believe it, say you believe it

Free your mind of doubt and danger
Be for real, don't be a stranger
We can achieve it, we can achieve it

Come a little bit closer baby, get it on, get it on
'Cause tonight is the night when two become one

Chorus:
I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be

Silly games that you were playing
Empty words we both were saying
Let's work it out boy, let's work it out boy

Any deal that we endeavour
Boys and girls feel good together
Take it or leave it, take it or leave it

Are you as good as I remember baby
Get it on, get it on
'Cause tonight is the night when two become one

Repeat chorus

Be a little bit wiser baby
Put it on, put it on
'Cause tonight is the night when two become one

I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love
Now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya baby)

I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love
Now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya baby)
Set your spirit free
It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be

Love Thing

You know I don't wanna know
Don't wanna know about that love thing

Chorus:
There's no room for lovin'
Stop that push and shovin' yeah
Don't wanna know about that love thing
Give me what I'm needing, you know what I'm dreaming of
Don't wanna know about love thing

Been brokenhearted before
But that's the last time it happens to me
I keep on giving still you're asking for more
Too much emotion baby, why can't you see

I'm not afraid of your love (I'm not afraid of your love)
Why cant you see Ive had my share of that
Youre what I want boy,
You know you got boy,
You gotta want me,
Its just what I need
I'm not that easy as a matter of fact

Repeat chorus

Here we go, here we go

Now don't go wasting my time
Youre not the only thing Ive got on my mind
My friends are with me when you aint been around
Your precious words and promises ain't bringin' me down

I've got some living to do
Don't assume I'm gonna be with you
You gotta want boy
You know you got boy
You gotta want me
It's just what I need
I'm not that easy as a matter of fact

Repeat chorus

Stop pushing
You're rushing
You're losing my lovin'
I hope it
I see it
Just play it
You feel it
Gotta be bold
Bold and oh so strong
Get with this and you got it goin' on

On and on with the girls named Spice
You wanna get with us then you'd better think twice
God help the mister, yeah God help the mister
That comes between me and my sisters

I'm not afraid of your love
Why can't you see I've had my share of that
You're what I want boy
You know you got boy
You gotta want me
It's just what I need
I'm not that easy as a matter of fact

Repeat chorus and fade

Last Time Lover

Treat me right, all night
Makes me feel good, like you should

Listen up I gotta tell ya
About the ins and outs and goings on
I wouldn't tell just anybody about the fox that I've been chasing
He's resistant, not persistent
It didn't stop me from homing in
'Cause I'm choosy not a floozy
I get my hit and then I run with it

Last time lover
Do you think I'm really cool and sexy
And I know you wanna get with me
Last time lover
Do you wanna be my last time baby
Could it be your first time maybe?

We got up and down to it, like the dirty bass in the music
I got my major chords strummin'
took some time and then we're really buzzin'
First bite whet my appitite, second helping's always better
Started getting burning hot
I found my pride not easy
Slowed it down I said stop

Chorus Last time lover, treat me right
Lovin' under cover, all night
Last time lover, makes me feel good
Lovin' under cover, like you should
Last time lover
Last time lover, treat me right, lovin'
Under cover, all night

Cool sexy, ever ready
Someone fine, always steady
Gentle hands, dirty mind
Use your head and don't be blind
Words of love they don't wash with me
What's the rush no urgency you see,
Crazy boy, potential lover, first and last lover
But there ain't no other
Crazy, sweety, cool but racy
Steady ready go, yes!

Last time lover
Do you think I'm really cool and sexy
And I know you wanna get with me
Last time lover
Do you wanna be my last time baby
Could it be your first time maybe?
Last time lover, treat me right
Lovin' under cover, all night
Last time lover, makes me feel good
lovin' under cover like you should
Last time lover, treat me right, lovin'
Under cover, all night

Mama

She used to be my only enemy and never let me free
Catching me in places that I know I shouldn't be
Every other day I crossed the line
I didn't mean to be so bad
I never thought you would
Become the friend I never had

Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love

Chorus:

Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
My friend

I didn't want to hear it then but
I'm not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of time to think about
About the way I used to be
Never had a sense of my responsibility

Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love

Chorus

But now I'm sure I know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes
All I can give you is love

Chorus

I'm loving you
You loving me
A love that's true
And guaranteed

Repeat chorus and fade

Who Do You Think You Are

The race is on to get out of the bottom
The top is high so your roots are forgotten
Giving is good as long as you're getting
What's driving you it's ambition and betting

(I said) who do you think you are
(Do you think you are, I said)
Oooh, some kind of superstar

Chorus:
(You have got to) swing it, shake it, move it, make it
Who do you think you are
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
Show me how good you are
Swing it, shake it, move it, make it
Who do you think you are
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
Show how good you are

You're swelling out in the wrong direction
You've got the bug, superstar you've been bitten
Your trumpet's blowing for far too long
Climbing the snake of the ladder, but you're wrong

Who do you think you are
(Do you think you are, I said)
Oooh, some kind of superstar

Chorus

You have got to reach on up, never lose your soul
You have got to reach on up, never lose control

(I said) who do you think you are
(Do you think you are, I said)
Oooh, some kind of superstar

Chorus

Swing, shake, move it, make it
Trust, use, prove, groove
Swing, shake, move it, make it
Trust, use, prove, groove

Something Kinda Funny

Chorus:
We've got something kinda funny goin' on
We've got something kinda funny goin' on

Wherever you're going, high or low
Remember to sure enjoy the show
So climb aboard my journey deep inside
Better late than dead on time

Ooh, it's you I know that I have got to feed
Ooh, don't take from me more than you really need
More than you really need

We've got something kinda funny goin' on
We've got something kinda funny goin' on

Happiness is just a state of your mind
Keep searching who knows what you may find
Rules are for fools, and fool's paradise is hard to find
Play my game or get left behind

It's you that I know I have got to feed
Take from me what you feel that you need
You feel that you need

Chorus

You've got it, you've got it
Hey yeah yeah, Hey yeah yeah

Feelin' kind of funny when I'm with you honey
Feelin' kinda queasy I ain't that easy

Repeat chorus and fade

Naked

Naivete and childhood left behind
Deprived of the goodness of mankind
Past encounters have made her strong
Strong enough to carry on and on

Undress you with her eyes
Uncover the truth from the lies
Strip you down no need to care
Lights are low, exposed and bare

Chorus:
Naked
Nothing but a smile upon her face
Naked
She wants to play seek and hide, no one to hide behind
Naked
This child has fallen from grace
Naked
Don't be afraid to stare she is only naked
Naked

She knows exactly what to do with men like you
Inside out in her mind
There's no doubt where you're coming from
mystery will turn you on

Undress you with her eyes
Uncover the truth from the lies
Strip you down no need to care
Lights are low, exposed and bare

Chorus

Spoken: Hello? It's me
I thought you'd understand
Well maybe I should have kept my mouth shut
I can't keep painting such a pretty picture
But I'd rather be hated than pitied
Maybe I should let you ____ your imagination
I just want to be me

This angel's dirty face is sore
Holding onto what she had before
Not sharing secrets with any old fool
Now she's gonna keep her cool
She wants to get naked
She wants to get naked

Chorus

If U Can't Dance

Chorus:
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance, if you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this, you can’t do nothing for me baby
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance, if you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this you can’t do nothing for me baby

Now we got the flavour, the bad behaviour
The rhythm, the melody, the juice for you to savour
Rockin’ and vibing and somebody's jivin’
You need to take a tip, sort it out, get a grip
Whenever I go out, whenever it may be
Never is there a Keanu but the dweeb lookin’ at me
But then even if I did score, he’s a loser in the dance floor
Take a deep breath count 1, 2, 3

Even when his eyes met mine
His slamming moves were out of time
Can’t you just feel the groove
Why don’t you move
It’s easy can’t you see
Take my hands and dance with me

Chorus

Spanish rap:
Hey macho, te ví el otro día, me dio mucha, mucha alegría
Escucha la música, Ay madre mía!
Hey chico, tu no tienes nada
Que susto, que sueco, que polla, que tieso
Oh, no me toques, ay que pero feo
Venga, venga, marcha salida, toma esa música
Me cantas deprisa, cuidado, cuidado, hey chico
Que loco, toma mi ritmo, me voy contigo
Hey macho te quiero, quiero un hombre, necesito si
Pero no tú, un hombre, hey macho, hey macho
Si no bailas esto no puedes nada conmigo

Chorus

You can’t do nothing for me baby
Oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa
Nothing baby
Oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa
(The rhythm)
You can’t do nothing for me baby
(Oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa)

Even when his eyes met mine
His slamming moves were out of time
Can’t you just feel the groove
Why don’t you move
It’s easy can’t you see
Take my hands and dance with me

If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance, if you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this, you can’t do nothing for me baby
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance, if you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this you can’t do nothing for me baby
Can't do nothing for me baby
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance, if you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this you can’t do nothing for me baby
(You can’t do nothing for me baby)
