(hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it),
Sing, hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it, want it,
(hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it)
Hey, listen to me, I've never, understood the games you play,
I never really know just what to say
So stop, messin' around,
And skip to the part where we start the show
And they all yelled as if, tomorrow never did
Exist, and you could hear them miles away,
It was such a beautiful display
When they sang
Hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it, want it,
(hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it),
Sing, hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it, want it,
(hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it)
Hey, listen to me,
Ya can't take back the words you say,
So don't talk to me if ya don't believe
Just stop, openin' your mouth,
'cause you keep stepping out of line,
Gonna take this game to overtime
And they all yelled as if, tomorrow never did
Exist, and you could hear them miles away,
It was such a beautiful display
When they sang
Hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it, want it,
(hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it),
Hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it, want it,

Sing, hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it, want it,
(hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it)
And they all yelled as if, tomorrow never did
Exist, and you could hear them miles away,
It was such a beautiful display
It was such a beautiful display
Hey, I want it, hey, hey, I want it, want it,
