Lyrics: Wannabe |
I don’t wanna be a wannabe,
A wannabe does not appeal to me,
A wannabe is such a travesty,
Only a parody and just a sham,
I don’t wanna be a wannabe,
But, then again, it does occur to me,
I don’t wanna be a wannabe,
But a wanna be is what I am.
I wanna be glad,
I don’t wanna be bad,
I wanna be living a life that’s good,
I wanna be strong,
I don’t wanna be in the wrong,
I wanna be doing the things I should.
I wanna be brave,
I don’t wanna be a knave,
I wanna be acting in the right,
I wanna be speaking the truth,
I don’t wanna be uncouth,
I wanna be walking in the light.
I don’t wanna be a wannabe,
A wannabe is never cool to me,
A wannabe is such a tragedy,
Only a fantasy and just a scam,
I don’t wanna be a wannabe,
But more than once it has appeared to me,
I don’t wanna be a wannabe,
But a wanna be is what I am.
|
I wanna be a prayer,
I don’t wanna be a naysayer,
I wanna be trying the best I can,
I wanna be alive,
I don’t wanna be shuckin’ n jivin’
I wanna be a better man.
I wanna be a faithful guy,
I don’t wanna be telling a lie,
I wanna be rising above,
I wanna be with you,
I don’t wanna be untrue,
I wanna be falling in love.
I don’t wanna be a wannabe,
A wannabe is not a thing to me,
A wannabe is such a mockery,
Only a mimicry, just a flim-flam,
I don’t wanna be a wannabe,
But now it finally is clear to me,
I don’t wanna be a wannabe,
But a wanna be is what I am.
