I Wanna Be With You
M.O.T.O. Lyrics

Now I'm the king of the swingers
I am on top of the world

Oh, the Jungle VIP
I am the most important creature in my habitat

I've reached the top and had to stop
I have accomplished everything I wanted so far

And that's what's been bothering me
I feel incomplete now that I have reached my goals

I wanna be a man, a mancub
I want to be a human

And stroll right into town
I want to enter human society

And be just like the other men
I want to fit in and be like everyone else

I'm tired of monkeyin' around!
I am tired of being different and standing out

Oh, oobee doo
I am excited and optimistic about my desire

I wanna be like you
I want to be like a human

I wanna walk like you
I want to move like a human

Talk like you, too
I want to speak like a human

You'll see it's true
I am confident that my goal is achievable

An ape like me
Someone like me, who is seen as different

Can learn to be human too.
Can integrate into human culture and society

Gee, Cousin Louie
Expressing excitement to someone close to them

You're doin' real good!
I compliment you on your success

Now here's your part of the deal 'cause,
I remind you of your commitment to me

Lay the secret on me of man's red fire
Share the knowledge of human's ability to make fire with me

But I don't know how to make fire
I confess that I am ignorant about this aspect of human behavior

Now don't try to kid me mancub
Don't lie to me, human

I made a deal with you
You promised me something in exchange for my help

What I desire is man's red fire
My ultimate goal is to acquire human-like abilities

To make my dream come true
So that I can finally feel complete

give me the secret mancub
Share the knowledge with me

Clue me what to do
Guide me in the right direction

Give me the power of man's red flower
Give me the tools and knowledge to be like a human

So I can be like you
So that I can achieve my goal of being like a human

You!
Addressing the person they made the deal with

Can learn to be like someone like me
You can learn from me and we can both gain knowledge and understanding from each other

Can learn to be Like someone like you!
We can both work towards our goals and help each other in the process.
