Look, I know we been friends for a while now
But, I just feel I can confess to you
It's gon' be hard but, alright here it goes

Imagine that the pillow that you cried on was my chest
And the tissue that you wiped your face with was my hand
Girl, imagine if you needed advice about some other guy,
I'm the one that comes to mind
Not try'na hear you tell nobody that I'm just a friend
Just try'na make sure I'm that body that you call your man
And anytime you need a shoulder, it's yours night or day
Well, what I'm try'na say is

[Chorus]
I wanna be, the last number you call late at night
Said I wanna be, the first one that you dial when you open your eyes
Wanna be the one you run to, wanna be the one that ain't gon' hurt you
I wanna be, yeah
Wanna be, yeah

Be the man makin' your girls jealous (Girl, I wanna be)
Be the guy shuttin' down all the fellas (ooh)
Whatever you need, girl it's all on me
Your soldier, your friend or your lover (ooh)
Girl, I wanna be

Would it be cool, would you mind if I called you my boo, (my boo)
What if the next whip you was pushin' was the one I bought for you
Can I be the one that meets your Pops and take your mama shoppin'
Be the only one that I (wait!), have you thought about it (wait), Really thought about it
Maybe you should take some time, call your girls and talk about it (yeah)
Cause I done already made up my mind (my mind)
Don't need no more time to know if I wanna be with you

[Chorus]

Be the man makin' your girls jealous (I wanna)
Be the guy shuttin' down all the fellas (fellas, yeah)
Whatever you need, girl it's all on me
Your soldier, your friend or your lover (ooh)
Girl, I wanna be

Put me on your screen saver, all over your Myspace and
Make me one of your file favorites, that's where I wanna be
The one you cryin' for, stayin' up all night fightin' for
Wanna be your good, bad, love, hate, Girl!

Cross my heart, hope to die, on everything that's good
I'ma do you right, show you right, Get this understood
Cross my heart, hope to die, on everything that's good
I'ma do you right, show you right, Get this understood

I wanna be, the last number that you call late at night (oh)
first one that you dial when you open your eyes (when you open your eyes)
Wanna be the one you run to
Wanna be the one that ain't gon' hurt you (oh)
I wanna be, yeah (I wanna yours)
Wanna be, yeah

Be the man makin' your girls jealous (jealous, yeah)
Be the guy shuttin' down all the fellas (fellas)
Whatever you need, (uh)
Girl, it's all on me
Your soldier, your friend or your lover
Girl, I wanna be yours

Girl, I wanna be, yours
I wanna be, yours
be yours
I wanna be
be yours
I wanna be
Be yours
