[Verse 1]
My friends seem to think you're Mr. Cool
But they don't really know the truth
You might be gettin' over on those other girls
But, baby don't insult my youth
[Chorus]
(You're just a) Wanna be
I've had a good look
Boy I'm gonna book
(You're just a) Wanna be
I've had enough
Of your stuff
[Verse 2]
You're always telling everybody
What you've got
And never having proof
Why just the other day
You lost your job (No pay)
Yet you're still trying to play it cool
But the bottom line is
[Chorus]
(You're just a) Wanna be
I've had a good look
And I've seen all I need to see baby
(You're just a) Wanna be
I've had enough
Of your stuff
[Bridge]
It's no mistake boy that you're a fake
[Bridge]
Baby, baby, baby, oh yeah
My friends seem to think you're cool
But not by my rules
Wanna be, you wanna be this
You wanna be that
Oh baby
My friends seem to think you're Mr. Cool
But they don't really know the truth
You might be gettin' over on those other girls
But, baby don't insult my youth
[Chorus]
(You're just a) Wanna be
I've had a good look
Boy I'm gonna book
(You're just a) Wanna be
I've had enough
Of your stuff
[Verse 2]
You're always telling everybody
What you've got
And never having proof
Why just the other day
You lost your job (No pay)
Yet you're still trying to play it cool
But the bottom line is
[Chorus]
(You're just a) Wanna be
I've had a good look
And I've seen all I need to see baby
(You're just a) Wanna be
I've had enough
Of your stuff
[Bridge]
It's no mistake boy that you're a fake
[Bridge]
Baby, baby, baby, oh yeah
My friends seem to think you're cool
But not by my rules
Wanna be, you wanna be this
You wanna be that
Oh baby
