    "If you wanna be my lover..."

 

F#                G#         E                 B

If you wannabe my lover, you gotta get with my friends.

Make it last forever, friendship never ends.

If you wannabe my lover, you have got to give.

Taking is too easy, and that's the way it is.

 

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.
