Wanna Be - Betty Who

Album: The Valley
genre: Pop Synthpop

It’s a long, cold walk after midnight
When you send me home
‘Cause she comes ’round late and she hates it
When we’re left alone
She’s beautiful, and I just can’t compete

But I’d ride with you, die with you
I’d spend my life with you
Stuck with me, fuck with me
So come make love to me
I know she’s sweet, but she isn’t me
Where she lies in your eyes
That’s where I wanna be

When a stranger says we look good together, we just laugh
If you only knew how it hurts ’cause you’re my other half
This nightmare has become my favorite dream
‘Cause I’m standing in for a love that is the real thing
You know I need you

‘Cause I’d ride with you, die with you
I’d spend my life with you
Stuck with me, fuck with me
So come make love to me
I know she’s sweet, but she isn’t me
Where she lies in your eyes
That’s where I wanna be
That’s where I wanna be

On the side of the bed where she sleeps
Driving home with your hand on my knee
Not the one that you want, but the only one you need
That’s where I wanna be

Ride with you, die with you
I’d spend my life with you
Stuck with me, fuck with me
So come make love to me
I know she’s sweet, but she isn’t me
Where she lies in your eyes
That’s where I wanna be
Ride with you, die with you
I’d spend my life with you
Stuck with me, fuck with me
So come make love to me
I know she’s sweet, but she isn’t me
Where she lies in your eyes
That’s where I wanna be
That’s where I wanna be
That’s where I wanna be
That’s where I wanna be
That’s where I wanna be

Betty Who told The Independent: "Oh man, 'Wanna Be' is one of the most personal songs on the record. I was in the studio with Ali Tamposi and Peter Thomas, sort of messing around on a bunch of different ideas and not really feeling anything we were doing. I don’t know who decided it was a good idea, but somebody finally said ‘okay we’re not getting anywhere, let’s just sit at the piano and see if we can get something down that way.’"

The singer also told the British newspaper The Independent: "About an hour later, we had the entire song finished and Ali and I were already harmonizing the last chorus like a couple of nerds. I love this song not only because it’s so real to me, but because I think it’s a feeling almost every single person I’ve ever known has felt."
