I Wanna Be Lyrics

[Intro:]

[Sigh] Look.. I know we've been friends for a while now.. But, I just feel like I can confess
to you.. It's gonna be hard but.. Alright here it goes...

[Verse 1:]

Imagine that the pillow that you cried on was my chest, and the tissue that you wiped your
face with was my hand
Girl imagine if you needed advise about some other guy, I'm the one that comes to mind
Not tryna' hear you tell nobody that I'm just a friend, just trying to make sure I'm that body
that you call your man, and anytime you need a shoulder, It shows not a day, but what I'm
tryna' say is, I wanna be...

[Chorus:]

Girl... ?? call late at night... ?? at the door when you open your eyes...
Wanna be the one you run to, wanna be one that ain't gon' hit you, I wanna be him, I wanna be
yea..
Be the man that get you girl jealous, be the guy that's shuttin' down all the fellas..
whatever you need, girls it's all on me.. So go tell your friend or your lover, girl, I wanna
be...

[Verse 2:]

Would it be cool, would you mind if I called you my boo, what if the next with you is pushin'
was the one I bought for you.
Can I be the one that meets your pops and take your mama shoppin', you're the only one I like.
Have you thought about it, wait, really thought about it? Maybe you should take some time call
your girls and talk about it, yeah.
Cuz' I done already made up my mind, don't need no more time to know if I wanna be with you, I
wanna be...

[Verse 3:]

Put me on your screen saver, all over your myspace and, make me one of your top favorites,
that's where I wanna be... The one you cryin' for, (stand up for and fightin' for) wanna be
your good, bad, love, hate girlll..

[Chorus]

If my heart hoped to die, on everything that's good, I'mma do you right, show you right, get
this understood. Cuz' my heart hoped to die, on everything that goes good, I'mma do you right
show you right, get this understood...

[Chorus]

Girl I wanna be, I wanna be.... sigh.. I wanna be, I wanna be...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
