I May Not Be What You Want Lyrics


Mel & Tim I May Not Be What You Want

[Verse 1]
Now I may not be what your folks want you to have
But baby, I'm for ya
And all your friends might look at me and laugh
But baby, I love ya
A rich man with lots of money
Oh, that's what they had planned for you
But girl, you know life is funny
Sometimes plans, they don't come through

[Chorus]
I may not be what you want, be what you want (Be what you want)
Oh I may not be what you want
But baby I'm the one you need, yeah

Don't let nobody choose what you want, choose what you want (Choose what you want)
Don't let nobody choose what you want
Because it's your heart that's gonna bleed

Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Now I heard your brother say to your Daddy, "He's an alright fella"
Then I heard your mother say, "She's your daughter" (You deserve better)
Not afraid of what they say about me
Oh as long as I satisfy you
And as long as I can hold you in my arms
All I want to do is make you believe me, believe me, believe me

[Chorus]
I may not be what you want, be what you want (Be what you want)
Oh I may not be what you want
But baby I'm the one you need, yeah

Don't let nobody choose what you want, choose what you want (Choose what you want)
Don't let nobody choose what you want
'Cause baby it's your heart that's gonna bleed, yeah yeah yeah

[Outro]
I may not be what you want, (Huh!) Be what you want (Be what you want)
Oh I may not be what you want
But baby I know that I'm the one you need, yeah
