Wannabe (Motiv 8 Vocal Slam Mix) Lyrics

[Intro: Ginger]
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

[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 wastin' my precious time
Get your act together, we could be just fine

[Break: Ginger]
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around

[Pre-Chorus: Scary, Ginger]
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 zig-a-zig ah

[Chorus: Sporty with Baby]
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
Takin' is too easy, but that's the way it is
[Break: Ginger]
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around

[Verse 2: Sporty, Baby, Scary, Ginger, (Sporty)]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Scary, Ginger]
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 zig-a-zig ah

[Chorus: Sporty with Baby]
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
Takin' is too easy, but that's the way it is

[Break: Baby & Sporty, Ginger]
If you wanna be my lover
Slam your body down and wind it all around
If you wanna be my lover
[Verse 3: Scary]
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-

[Break: Ginger, Baby]
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
You gotta get with my friends
You gotta get with my friends

Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-

[Chorus: Sporty with Baby, (Baby), (Scary)]
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
Takin' is too easy, but that's the way it is
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
(You've got to give)
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is
[Break: Ginger]
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-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-
Slam your body-

[Verse 4: Ginger, Scary]
Easy V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady
And as for me, haha, you'll see
You gotta-
You gotta-
You gotta-
You gotta-
You gotta-
You gotta-
You gotta-
You gotta-


[Outro: Sporty]
Ooh yeah
Ooooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh yeah
Ooooh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
