Brandy Norwood “Right Here”:  https://youtube.com/vzwoJ10UyO0

 

Cause I wanna be like you

I want to talk like you

I want to walk like you

Can learn to be like you

 

Bi-doo

Monkey

Monkeying around

Can learn to be like you

 

Ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh

Ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh

Ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh

Can learn to be like you

Can learn to be like you

 

Now I’m the king of the swingers

Reached the top off the tree

But I have to stop

I would like to be a man and walk on two legs

Down right into town

Just the same like men

 

Cause I wanna be like you

I want to talk like you

I want to walk like you

Can learn to be like you

When I’m trying to reach the mankind

And make a deal with them

So give the secrete

Can learn to be like you

 

You know most apes like me

Can learn to be like you

You know most apes like me

Can learn to be like you

 

In my life I’ve been stressed and depressed

And I can’t share

If I had a voice I could speak it out

Sometimes my children get so hungry or sick

And our homes get destroyed through wildfire but I’ll be saving my family

And when I feel alone

Have neither a friend nor a home

When nobody can save me

But I know God got me

 

Cause I wanna be like you

I want to talk like you

I want to walk like you

Can learn to be like you

 

Cause I want to stroll right into town like a man, man

And get chased away by none, none

I want to walk like you

Can learn to be like you

 

You know most apes like me

Can learn to be like you

You know most apes like me

Can learn to be like you
