[Verse 1]
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, no
Get your act together we could be just fine

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
What  I want, want, want, yeah
So  tell me what you want, what you really, really want

[Chorus]
So if you wanna be my lover, you 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 (Zig-a-zig-ah)

[Verse 2]
Oh, what do you think about that, now you know how I feel
Say,  you can handle my love, are you for real?
No, I won't be hasty, I'll give you a try, yeah
If you really really bug me then I'll say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
What I want, want, want, yeah
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want

[Chorus]
So if you wanna be my lover, you 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 (Zig-a-zig-ah)

[Bridge]
So here's a story from A to Z
You wanna get with me, you better listen carefully
We got Em in the place who likes it in your face
We 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
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and- (Zig-a-zig-ah)

[Chorus]
If you wanna be my lover, you 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 (Zig-a-zig-ah)
