Song Lyrics

Yo! bust this!
I got a plan to take you by the hand
And whisper in your ear that
I want to be your man
So understand the bottom line plan
I do do do do want to be your man

You've been on a mission baby
To find the man in your life
You heart, it's been illin' baby
To find someone to treat you right

The question now is me
Will it hurt ya to believe
The love you see in my eyes
Tho distant you choose to be
My sincerity will bring you around in time

[Chorus]
Want to be want to be want to be want to be
Want to be I want to be the man in your life!!!

Right now I need your attention
And be the man when you talk
That you mention your old lover
He don't need no extension
Cause he's out and I'm whatcha missin'

I've got a vision baby
I can see a change coming in sight
My heart's open to you baby
I feel our love coming to light

Alone you do all right
My love will take you high
Higher higher, higher higher
I'll be there by your side
On clouds we will ride
Through the raining storm

I need a minute and I'll be in it
You've got the love
And you know I want to win it
Stop looking 'cause you've been found
And your love is cold
Sweeter than a chocolate mound
So give it to me and understand
That I'm the one who want to be your man
I gotta plan to take you by the hand
Cause I want to, want to, want to, want to, be your man

Bust it!
Yo!
Let's dance yeah

Funky music and this is def
The kickin' sound of EWF
And they do it like nobody else
Hyped up like myself yeah!

[Chorus]

Hold on baby,
Wait a minute
So give it to me
And come my way and be my lover
For the rest of my days
Give it to me
And come on through
Cause I want to, want to, want to, want to be with you

[Chorus]
