I Wanna Be Lyrics

Doyle Bramhall Ii I Wanna Be

[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's yours, night or day, but what I'm tryna say is, I wanna be...

[Chorus:] The last number you call late at night (said I wanna be), The first one that you dial when you open your eyes. Wanna be the one you run to, wanna be the one that ain't gonna hurt you, I wanna be yeah, I wanna be yeah.. Be the man making your girl jealous, be the guy shuttin' down all the fellas.. whatever you need, girl, it's all on me: soldier, 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 whip you was pushin' was the one I bought for you? Can I be the one that meets your pops and take your mama shoppin', be the only one they 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. 'cause I done already made up my mind, don't need no more time to know if I wanna be with you, I wanna be...

[Chorus:] The last number you call late at night (said I wanna be), The first one that you dial when you open your eyes. Wanna be the one you run to, wanna be the one that ain't gonna hurt you, I wanna be yeah, I wanna be yeah.. Be the man making your girl jealous, be the guy shuttin' down all the fellas.. whatever you need, girl, it's all on me: soldier, your friend or your lover, girl, 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 girl..

[x2] My heart hoped to die, on everything that's good, I'm gonna do you right, show you right, get this understood.

[Chorus:] The last number you call late at night (said I wanna be), The first one that you dial when you open your eyes. Wanna be the one you run to, wanna be the one that ain't gonna hurt you, I wanna be yeah, I wanna be yeah.. Be the man making your girl jealous, be the guy shuttin' down all the fellas.. whatever you need, girl, it's all on me: soldier, your friend or your lover, girl, I wanna be...


Girl I wanna be, I wanna be.... [sigh] I wanna be, I wanna be...
