Verve Pipe, The - Wanna Be Lyrics






We all love a millionaire
on the radio, with a great video
and all the orchestration
backing up your screaming guitar
how'd you make it this far?

do you gotta be straight on the line?
do you gotta look great all the time?
do you gotta be straight?

we'll even pay you, millionaire
tell us of your abuse, we stand so amused
and what you said about the audience
simple lyrics will do
cause they don't have a clue

do i gotta be straight on the line?
do i gotta look great all the time?
do i gotta be straight?

wannabewannabewishiwereyouknowiwishiwereyouknow
wannabewannabewishiwereyouknowiwishiwereyou

now love me i'm a millionaire
running out of cliches, but i'm keeping the faith
now, should i repeat the second verse?
or maybe the third?
it's becoming absurd

but i gotta be straight on the line
and i wanna be high all the time
well, i gotta be straight

gottakeepthefaith, gottaplayitstraight
givepeaceachance, sittingonafence
gottatowtheline, sweetchildo'mine
pushcomestoshove, allyouneedislove

    Kant beheld responsible

  70. B.... G....

    I came here to re-listen to the lyrics because these guys were on the Howard Stern wrap up show today and were talking about the song. One of the guys in the band, perhaps the lead singer, said the song is about two young men who had sex with a girl at the same time and that the young lady became pregnant. At the time that it happened it seemed all fun, but then as the years went on, the men matured and were haunted by it all. This all really hit home with me. I even cried like a baby. Damn.

    B.... G....

    Exactly ready for the Babbabooey version!

    B.... G....

    @nick sava haha or a Robin song!

  71. k.... k....

    In 1997 I was freshly divorced. I was as free as a bird, and I met some cool people, but somehow all that I could think of was my son, he was born in march of 1995. In the year 2000 I re-married his mother. We have been married ever since, she needed time and space to decide that I was really what she wanted. I love her so much, and our son is now almost 25, but I cannot help but remember the times when I was free, and this song is a part of this time. RIP SONIA P.

  72. V.... S....

    American pieee

  73. R.... M....

    I just want to go back to the 90s. Life was great. Music cannot be matched. I miss this. Feeling so so nostalgic ❤️❤️❤️

  74. P.... N....

    7:24 AM 12/2/2019 No not me. Coincidence. Final Fantasy 7? Yeah its in FF7 story cus I can relate to it now as if this was setup on me as a sick joke. What happened to Cloud? He forgot what happened? He was brainwashed is what that is called in reality. The blue chocobos are suppose to be the fastest.

  75. A.... R....

    Brian Vander Ark’s hair is the most late 90’s thing ever.

  76. P.... A....

    Mais algum brasileiro aqui???

  77. C.... D....

    Keys:) Parents empty house party!

  78. P.... L....

    Making a playlist w 90s songs that have this vibe. I was a freshman in college when this song came out and never appreciated it until now that I’m 43. So far I got Stay by Lisa Loeb, Brick by Ben Folds Five, Fast Car by Chapman, Mazzy Star, The Sunday’s. Any suggestions?

    P.... L....

    P. Lo add some Sheryl crow, Alice In Chains,audio slave,smashing pumpkins

    P.... L....

    Goo Goo Dolls "Name",
    Lightening Crashes Live

  79. N.... D....

    The 90s were not the greatest years in our history.

  80. J.... E....

    Who's listening 2019

  81. B.... S....

    Its ashamed what our society has become. I always wonder why did they have to start playing songs that weren't even worth listening to. Think of what our society would be like now if they'd have kept songs like this around, Nobody plays music like the (Verve pipe, Goo Dolls, U2, Gin Blossoms) I could keep on naming singers & bands. But you get the idea.

    B.... S....

    Simps want easily digestible stuff that resembles music for them to hear as background noise while they search Facebook jealous of other fake people.

  82. B.... ....

    If we could only go back...the things we would do...the happiness we would see and the miracles that would happen. History repeats itself but never with great events always the 7 sins

  83. R.... C....

    Man, on a 90's early 00's binge and i miss these days!! My mom was right, time flies by, enjoy it while it lasts.

  84. C.... S....

    Love the 90's love this song

  85. D.... ....

    I'm glad I lived long enough to down vote this over played crap I had to listen to every time I turned on the the fucking radio in the 90s

  86. M.... M....

    the song just brought so many memories from my past awesome life im so happy and now I have a son and I can't wait until he gets to look back on his life and the music that ran it

  87. T.... S....

    Great song!!

  88. J.... D....

    Who here was born in 1980?

  89. J.... A....

    I'm only 17 but I really much prefer this music than today's music. I just feel so lonely and meaningless in today's world. Everyone's just minding their own business. Giving to much attention to social media and stuff. I can't even get into new stuff. Almost all my library is from 90's and early 2000's. From what I've been told those were better times.

    J.... A....

    It's awesome that you are able to realize the facade with social media and screen obsession. Having real life experiences with the ones you love and admire are the memories you'll want to look back upon ❤ You've got this.

  90. R.... G....

    Best of the BEST ☮️♐️

  91. S.... S....

    This song was all over the radio spring break of my senior year of college in 1997. So many memories of listening to it on the radio while driving with my friends during our spring break trip. I'd give anything to go back and do it all over again...

  92. A.... A....

    Who all is going through the comments while listening to the song..

    A.... A....

    @war13death Me too <3

  93. P.... L....

    90's.. Rocks. Cheers.

  94. J.... A....

    S.... ....

    3 concerts in their home town next week. Should be decent shows.

  96. U.... ....

    When I was young I thought I knew everything. I thought this song sucked, and maybe it was overplayed then, but it doesn't suck.

  97. L.... ....

    This is THE song that describes my life from the 90s to the early 2000s.

  98. A.... 9....

    Kieth Urban, and Garth Brooks on drums.

  99. J.... B....

    1990 is the best year..enjoy life do what you want to do...we may not know what will happen on the next day
