Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You go to sleep late at night
I kinda front like I don't want to
Inside I'm losing my mind (losing my mind) (hey)
Do you wanna be my baby?
Do you wanna be my girl?
Don't tell me I'm not your type
Let's do a little less talking
And a little more little more little more feelin' right (right)
Do you wanna be my baby?
Do you wanna be my girl?
Do you wanna be my baby?
Do you wanna be my girl?
Let it breathe, let it breathe (ohh ohh)
Let it breathe, let it breathe (ohh ohh)
I like to play hard to get (yeah)
I walk around talkin' shit (yeah)
But you know just what I need
See I don't got time for games
And I cant afford diamond rings
But you know, you know, you know, you should be with me (be, be with me)
Do you wanna be my baby? (say it baby)
Do you wanna be my girl?
Do you wanna be my baby? (would you be my baby?)
Do you wanna be my girl?
The lyrics of Mr. Mike's song 'Why You Wanna' talk about a man who is interested in a woman and is trying to woo her. The song is about an unsaid chemistry that the man feels with this woman, but he finds it hard to express his true feelings. The man is aware that he wakes up early in the morning, while she sleeps late at night, and this intensifies his desire to have her. At first, he tries to front like he doesn't want her, but inside his mind, he is losing it. He asks the woman if she wants to be his baby or his girl, expressing his interest in being in a relationship with her.
The man asks the woman not to tell him that she has a boyfriend or that he is not her type. Instead, he wants them to stop talking and start enjoying each other's company. He repeats his question, asking the woman if she wants to be his baby or his girl, trying to gain her attention.
He also mentions that he likes to play hard-to-get and walks around talking big. However, he knows that the woman understands his needs and wants. He tells her that he cannot afford diamond rings or games, but she knows that she should be with him.

👉What’s the biggest key to success in music that you’ve learnt?
Brad Sundberg’(Worked with MJ 1985-2002): I think anyone who came from the MJ camp will tell that there is no substitute for hard work.Michael used to show up two hours early for every single vocal session just to warm up. No other artist I am aware of does that, nor has that type of self-discipline.Also - mistakes/accidents can be incredible gifts.Be flexible and open to new ideas, even mistakes.They can often make a song far more interesting than what you originally intended.
👉There was and is always so much press about Michael Jackson. What do you think was the most surprising thing about MJ if a fan was to have met him in real life?
Brad Sundberg’(Worked with MJ 1985-2002):That's a tough one because I spend so many hours "introducing" Michael to my guests, but I think the strongest word that comes to mind is grateful. Michael had a great sense of humor, loved his fans, was incredibly musical and talented, but he was also amazingly grateful. He would thank EVERYONE who helped on a project. One time after we installed a train on his ranch, he was riding in the front car and he cautiously asked the operator if he could maybe drive it? The guy laughed and said, "It's YOUR train! Of course you can drive it!!" That's how he was - very unassuming and grateful for everything.
