Do what I want, 'cause I can if I don't
Because I wanna.
Be ignored by the stiff and the bored
Because I'm gonna.

Spit and retrieve, 'cause I give and receive
Because I wanna.
Gonna get through your head what the mystery man said
Because I'm gonna.

Hate to say I told you so, but I...
- Come on
Do believe I told you so
Now it's all out and you knew
'Cause I wanted to.

Turn my back on the rot that's been planning the plot
Because I'm gonna.
No need for me to wait
Because I wanna.
No need two, three, too late
Because I'm gonna.

Hate to say I told you so, but I...
- Come on
Do believe I told you so...

Do what I please, gonna spread the disease
Because I wanna
Call all the shots, all the "No's" and the "Not's"
because I wanna.

Yeah!

Ask me once
I'll answer twice
'cause all I know I'll tell
Because I wanna.

Sound device
And lots of ice
I'll spell my name out loud
Because I wanna.

Oh yeah!
