Story Behind the SongWhen I first moved to LA, I was taken with the particular culture and attitudes of the people here. And when I say people I am talking in general, just the overall feel of the place called Hollywood. The glamous lifestyles, the cars and beautiful people.
Lyrics
Wanna Be World Music and Lyrics by Mary Ott Copyright 1992
Black leather, Black lace,
Takes a wild imagination.
Chains drippin? from chest to waist,
Symbolize devotion.
Pre_Chorus:
Everybody?s sister, brother and wife,
Wants to be, wants to be what?
Scrapin? by on nickels, plastic and lies,
Has this dream been realized?
Chorus:
We?re livin? in a Wanna Be World,
Filled with, dark characters and mother of pearl,
The streets are paved from Thailand to Tabor,
With visions, from a Wanna Be World.
Verse 2:
Silicone siloutte, lovely bodies synthesized.
Ooh, just the thought makes his palms sweat,
Can?t wait to touch those perfect thighs.
Pre-Chorus:
Everybody?s sister, brother and wife,
Wants to be, whats to be what?
Camouflage grand central, dark circles and dust,
Never mind they?ve auctioned their souls into rust.
Chorus:
We?re livin? in a Wanna Be World
Filled with, dark characters and mother of pearl,
Throw down the gauntlet and those Goldie locks curls,
We?re swimmin? in a Wanna Be World.
Verse 3:
He likes them long, he likes them sleek,
Say Testarossa, his knees go weak.
Antique baubles and a castle in the hills,
The image game is his only thrill.
Pre-Chorus:
Everybody?s sister, brother and wife,
Wants to be, wants to be what?
I?m not The Joker, or Winnie the Pooh,
I?m just a simple girl, who?s tellin? you, That we?re?
Chorus:
Livin? in a Wanna Be World
Filled with dark characters and mother of pearl
The streets are paved with those Goldie locks curls
And visions of a Wanna Be World.
