Wanna Wanna
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do you wanna wanna wanna grow up to be
The kind you only wanna shut up
And if time runs through your veins
And causes you nothing but pain
You're just like the rest of us
You're just like the rest of us
You're just like the rest of us
You're just like the rest of us
My mama told me to get to bed
To get my beauty sleep
But one day you get up
And there's nothing left of your week
Just like the rest of us
Just like the rest of us
Just like the rest of us
Just like the rest of us
Time goes by & then you realize
Doesn't matter who you're crying for
It's all just a big surprise
And you're left outside the door
And you're left outside the door
Do you wanna wanna wanna know why
I ain't ever gonna die
Cause I'm too young to think about it
And too old not to try
Not like you
Not like you
Not like you
Not like you
Time goes by & then you realize
Doesn't matter who you're crying for
It's all just a big surprise
And you're left outside the door
And you're left outside the door
