Wannabe (Demo) Lyrics

[Refrain: Scary, Ginger, Sporty]
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 (Hey!), I wanna (Hey!), I wanna (Hey!), I wanna (Hey!)
I wanna really, really, really wanna "zig-a-zig", ah

[Verse 1: Sporty, Baby, Scary, Ginger]
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


[Refrain: Scary, Ginger, Sporty]
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 (Hey!), I wanna (Hey!), I wanna (Hey!), I wanna (Hey!)
I wanna really, really, really wanna "zig-a-zig", ah

[Chorus: All]
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
[Verse 2: Sporty, Baby, Scary, Ginger, (Posh)]
Oh, what you think about that
Now you know how I feel
Say you could 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


[Refrain: Scary, Ginger, Sporty]
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 (Hey!), I wanna (Hey!), I wanna (Hey!), I wanna (Hey!)
I wanna really, really, really wanna "zig-a-zig", ah

[Chorus: All, Baby]
If you wanna be my lover
You gotta get with my friends (Gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever
Friendship never ends (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
[Verse 3: Scary, Sporty, Ginger, All]
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
We got G like MC who likes it on an- (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Easy V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
And as for me, ha-ha, you'll see (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Slam your body down and wind it all around (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Slam your body down and wind it all around

[Chorus: Baby, Scary, All]
(Gotta get with my friends)
(They never end)
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


[Post-Chorus: All, Scary, Sporty]
If you wanna be my lover
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta slam
Make it last forever (Slam, slam, slam)
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and "zig-a-zig", ah
[Outro: All]
If you wanna be my lover
