Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
(So us me what you want, what you really, really want)
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell us what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (Ha) I wanna, (Ha) I wanna, (Ha) I wanna (Ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zig-a-zig, ah
[Verse 2]
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get 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, hey
[Verse 3]
I'm not sick, but I'm not well
And I'm so hot 'cause I'm in Hell
I'm not sick, but I'm not well
And it's a sin to live so well (Yes, it's a sin)
[Verse 4]
Ghetto superstar
That is what you are
Coming from afar
Reaching for the stars
Run away with me to another place
We can rely on each other, uh-huh
From one corner to another, uh-huh
[Verse 5]
Everybody (Yeah)
Rock your body (Yeah)
Everybody
Rock your body right
Backstreet's back all right, all right
[Verse 6]
So don't delay, act now
Supplies are running out
But now if you're still alive
Six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow
There may be a tomorrow
But if the offer's shunned
You might as well be walking on the sun
Might as well be walking on the sun
[Verse 7]
Intergalactic, planetary
Planetary, intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary
Planetary, intergalactic
Intergalactic, planetary
Planetary, intergalactic
[Verse 8]
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
[Verse 9]
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
[Verse 10]
I wanna push you around, well, I will, well, I will
I wanna push you down, well, I will, well, I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
Yeah, yeah, well, I will
[Verse 11]
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby
Baby, I want something else
I'm not listening when you say goodbye
[Verse 12]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
[Verse 13]
There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low and blow your mind
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
[Verse 14]
Mmmbop, do-floppa, do-wop
Do-be-dop, ah
Do-wop, do-zop, ah, do
Yeah, yeah
Mmmbop, do-zop ah, do-wop
Do-be-dop, ah
Do-wop, do-zop ah, do
[Verse 15]
I smell sex and candy here
Who's that lounging in my chair?
Who's that casting devious stares in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream
Yeah, yeah, Mama, this surely is a dream
Dig it, yeah, Mama, this surely is
[Verse 16]
Closing time
One last call for alcohol
So finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time
You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take us home
[Verse 17]
'Cause it's closing time
(Yeah, it's closing time)
(We're talking 'bout closing time)
(It's really closing time)
Hey
