Yo I'll tell you what I want, what I 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 [huh], I wanna [huh], I wanna [huh], I wanna [huh]
I wanna really really really wanna zigazig ahh
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
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 [huh], I wanna [huh], I wanna [huh], I wanna [huh]
I wanna really really really wanna zigazig ahh
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
Taking is too easy but that's the way it is
What d'you think about that? now you know how I feel
Say you can 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
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 [huh], I wanna [huh], I wanna [huh], I wanna [huh]
I wanna really really really wanna zigazig ahh!
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

Taking is too easy but that's the way it is
So here's the 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 m.c. who likes it on an
Easy v doesn't come for free, she's a real lady
And as for me, haha you'll see
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around
