[English]

Yeah, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want

So, tell me what you want, what you really, really want

I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want

So tell me what you want, what you really, really want

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I really, really, really wanna zigazig, ah

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I really, really, really wanna zigazig, ah

If you want my future, forget my past

If you wanna get with me, better make it fast

Now don't go wasting my precious time

Get your act together, we could be just fine

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get it with my friends

Make it last forever, friendship never ends

If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give

Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is

Yeah, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want

So tell me what you want, what you really, really want

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I really, really, really wanna zigazig, ah

What do you think about that now? You know how I feel

Say you can handle my love, are you for real?

I won't be hasty, I'll give you a try

If you really bug me, then I'll say goodbye

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get it with my friends

Make it last forever, friendship never ends

If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give

Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is

Yeah, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want

So tell me what you want, what you really, really want

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I really, really, really wanna zigazig, ah

So here's a story from A to Z

You wanna get with me, you gotta get it together, leave it

We got Em in the place who likes it in your face

We got G like MC who likes it on an-

Easy V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady

As for me, ah, you'll see

Slam your body down and wind it all around

Slam your body down and wind it all around

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get it with my friends

Make it last forever, friendship never ends

Yeah, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want

So tell me what you want, what you really, really want

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I really, really, really wanna zigazig, ah

I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want

So tell me what you want, what you really, really want

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I really, really, really wanna zigazig, ah

Slam your body down and wind it all around

Slam your body down and wind it all around
