Lyrics:
Yo, 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, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah

If you want my future, forget my past
If you wanna get with me, well, you better make it fast
Now don't go wasting my precious time
Get your act together we could be just fine

Yo, 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, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig

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

Oh, what do you think about that?
Now you know how I feel
Say, you can handle my love, are you for real?
(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

Yo, 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, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends
(Gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever, friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
(You've got to give)
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is

So, here's a story from A to Z
You wanna get with me, you gotta listen carefully
We got Em in the place who likes it in your face
You got G like MC who likes it on a
Easy V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady
And as for me, ha 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 with my friends
(Gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever, friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
(You've got to give)
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is

If you wanna be my lover
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta
Slam, slam, slam, slam (make it last forever)
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and zigazig ah

Woo

If you wanna be my lover

Won't lie, this was probably the best sponsored video on facebook so far. And the only one I don't regret clicking on. Funny how she has an Irish accent despite being Italian.

[sgater]

I literally dont know what to say. Its like the cover ive always been waiting for, without knowing that im waiting for it.

[NathanVMountain]

That was such a sick cover, I love the beat changes for the verses, truly felt like a Halflives original at times! Can't wait to see them live!

[andreacole]

🤣🤣 This is the greatest thing ever!! Every bit of the production is incredible! I love it that the original Spice Girls video is playing on the tv behind the reception desk!! This might just be my favourite Halflives' cover yet 💙💙

[FeralMess]

Great job! Looks and sounds so good! 😀

[ghettoschlumpf]

Thank god that my shift ist over when the Video starts

[TheFlyingRaptor]

Love it! Totally cracks me up every time to see the bathroom stall crack open and Fede is just wailing away on drums! Great choice of sets and outfits. Super high energy! Lots of fun from start to finish!

[brendanmoran]

This is great to play after a few glasses of wine.
Nice one Half Lives.
Love from Scotland!

[booknatic]

This should be a trend on Tik Tok. It would be a good one. 👌🏻

[ericgaudet]

Awesome job with your Rock Cover of Wannabe from the (Spice Girls ) better than the original.

[snlarini]

Love the energy, love the change up of the song (the original is too corny for my taste), love the aesthetics... i just love it all! Great job 💜

[martand]

Really great work, much enjoyed that. First time listening to something new and then it grabs you.

[random]

Really love this cover! What really made me laugh was the ending when y'all didn't want to leave.

[ChattGM]

This was so sick!! Y'all killed it no doubt. I recently rewatched Small Soldiers after so many years and this song was in the movie so I actually recieved a double dose of nostalgia lol. I didn't think this song could get anymore iconic but you achieved it with no problems at all :D

[Ethereal.Comatose]

lol i finally got around to listening to this, this is a good cover!

[kaz]

So good, loved this!! Totally put a smile on my face 💖💖💖

[protogen_aary]

Just gotta Survive School now, then, finally, I will be able to hear the cover! :D

[zeldalovii]

Also, I love the energy of this cover.

[danielcdan.]

Totally amazing cover. I really love it. It's amazing. I love the video it's so fun to watch.

[michalis]

omg it's so good! I wonder how the Spice Girls were persuaded and gave their permission though. They must have been asked a thousand times.
