I Wanna Be Like You Lyrics


Ibeyi I Wanna Be Like You

[Intro: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
You
I wanna be
Eh, eh, can I have a tiny bit more on my voice, please?
You, hey
I wanna be

[Verse 1: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
Look at you now
So wild and free
Watching you move
Why can't that be me?
I'm often down, often down
I often cry, often cry
The only thing I know
I wanna be like you, child

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
I wanna be like you, you
Wanna be like you
I wanna be like you, you
Wanna be like you

[Verse 2: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
Take me to the river
Help me find the Sun
I will follow you, child
I used to know the way
I forgot it all
I used to be you, child

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
I wanna be like you, you
Wanna be like you
I wanna be like you, you
Wanna be like you

[Chorus: Lisa-Kaindé Diaz]
I wanna be like you, like you
Wanna be like you
I wanna be like you, like you
Wanna be like you
I wanna be
