Wanna Be

[Intro: Missy Elliott]

Yeah, I'm bangin' this joint right here

For all my people who

Who sick of playin' seconds and

And takin' somebody's leftovers

Get out the back seat

Take the passenger seat, you know what I'm sayin'?

Heh, y'all feel me? Y'all feel me?

Hear me out

[Verse 1: Tamia]

Is it me or her, babe?

You gotta make your decision

'Cause you got the wrong impression

I don't want nobody's seconds

I just want all of you, babe

I'm used to getting what I like

Just to curb my appetite

Serve you on a plate with a first-class flight

[Chorus: Tamia]

(Oh, baby)

I wanna be the girl you take to your crib (Be the girl, to your crib)

And not the girl you hate to show where you live (Not the girl you hate to show where you live)

I wanna be the girl for you all your life (I wanna be, yeah)

And not the girl you're pickin' up late at night (Not the girl, late at night)

[Verse 2: Tamia]

Let's be truthful, please

Will she always be around?

I need to know right here and now

Can I bury her underground?

I just want all of you, babe

And she's always in the way

And she's always in your face

Am I the one who's being played?

[Chorus: Tamia]

(I wanna)

I wanna be the girl you take to your crib (The girl, to your crib)

And not the girl you hate to show where you live (You need to show where you live)

I wanna be the girl for you all your life (I wanna be)

And not the girl you're pickin' up late at night (No, no, no, no)

[Bridge: Missy Elliott, Tamia]

Not your chick on the side (No)

I wanna be your main chick (Chick)

So, you gon' have to pick (Mmm, no)

Between Lisa, Kim and Stacy and whoever (Woah)

Not your chick on the side (No, no)

I wanna be your main chick (Yeah)

So, you gon' have to pick, uh

Between Lisa, Kim and Stacy and whoever (Mmm)

[Chorus: Tamia]

(And I wanna be)

I wanna be the girl you take to your crib (To your crib, yeah)

And not the girl you hate to show where you live

I wanna be the girl for you all your life (I gotta be)

And not the girl you're pickin' up late at night (Late at night)

I wanna be the girl you take to your crib (I wanna be the girl you take to your crib)

And not the girl you hate to show where you live (Woah, no, no, no)

I wanna be the girl for you all your life (I wanna be the girl for all your life)

And not the girl you're pickin' up late at night (Woah, late at night)
