Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
(Okey dokey, I'm listening)
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
(I just said that, in less words)
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
(Erm, hello?)
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
(Get on with it, for christ's sake!)
I wanna (huh?)
I wanna (huh?)
I wanna (huh?)
I wanna (huh?)
I wanna really, really, really, wanna zigazig ah
(Erm? Was that all? Why the fuss? You wanna zigazig ah? Why do you think I wanted to know that?)
If you want my future, forget my past
(You'd like us to forget, wouldn't you?)
If you wanna get with me, better make it fast
(Make it fast? Is there a time limit? Guess you carn't leave Vicki's johns waiting)
Now don't go wasting my precious time
(Kinda like how you wasted my time with that zigazig ah thing?)
Get your act together
(Spice Girls need someone with an equally manufactured 'act', it seems)
We could be just fine
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
(Not you again)
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
(Are you going to zigazig ah again? If you are, I'm off)
I wanna (huh?)
I wanna (huh?)
I wanna (huh?)
I wanna (huh?)
(They sound like they have hiccups)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah
(I wanna really, really, really wanna learn some words that aren't 'wanna' and 'really')
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends
(Erm, what? Groop sex?)
Make it last forever
(Gosh, some blokes can't even manage 3 minutes, much less forever)
Friendship never ends
(Is that one of those 'It rhymes, do it' things?)
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
(Give you what?)
Taking is too easy but that's the way it is
(Was that supposed to be deep?)
Whatcha think about that?
(You don't wanna know)
Now you know how I feel
(Actually, I don't. I carn't comprehend a thing you're trying to say)
Say you can handle my love
Are you for real?
(Funny, I was just thinking that about you)
I won't be hasty
(I thought you had to make it fast?)
I'll give you a try
(Oh, cheers. I'm privledged.)
If you really bug me then I'll say goodbye
(I'm bugging you! I'm bugging you! Bug! Bug! Bug!)
Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
(Haven't you done this?)
So tell me what you want, what you really really want
(Well, I, for one, would like you to fuck off)
I wanna (huh?)
I wanna (huh?)
I wanna (huh?)
I wanna (huh?)
(Yeah, 'huh?' is a good response)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah
(You know, I don't think this Spice Girl really knows what she wants, and she panics and makes up something. Maybe if they asked another Girl, we'd get a reply)
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends
(Can't they get their own dates?)
Make it last forever
Friendship never ends
(I think your old manager would have a different story about friendship ending)
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
(What are you gonna give me?)
Taking is too easy but that's the way it is
(I'm dead impressed with this philosophy here)
So here's the story from A to Z
(Great. Dodgy rap)
You wanna get with me you gotta listen carefully
(If we don't wanna get with you, can we turn it off?)
We've got Em in the place who likes it in your face
(Likes what in my face? What place?)
You've got G like MC who likes it on a
(Likes it on a what? Em's face? Don't leave me hanging like that!)
Easy V, who doesn't come for free
She's a real lady
(Erm, how much does she cost then? Are you guys aware that 'easy' is an insult, anyhow?)
And as for me -- haha -- you'll see
(Can't wait)
Slam your body down and whine it all around
(Slam my body down? Why on earth...?)
Slam your body down and whine it all around
(How would one whine their body anyhow?)
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta slam
(Slam what?)
Make it last forever
(Not the orgy again)
Slam your body down and whine it all around
Slam your body down and whine it all around
(Proof that listening to this song causes spastic fits!)
Slam your body down and whine it all around
(That reminds me of my cat when it had a seizure)
Slam your body down and zigazig ah
(Yes, lets all zigazig ah. Joy)
If you wanna be my lover
(SHUT THE HELL UP)

Spice Girls themselves have admitted that this song only took ten minutes to write. I think I've made my point.
