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
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

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]
