Something to You

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Nickolas Ashford] I'm never gonna be a teacher, an inventor of things Never gonna be a merchant or maker of dreams I'm never gonna be a chemist, or study biology I'm not one for adventure or mystery [Pre-Chorus: Nickolas Ashford] But I'm trapped so hard Living in this world to give my heart But all I really want to do If I had one wish come true Yeah, baby, I'd wanna be [Chorus: Ashford & Simpson, Nickolas Ashford] Something to you Ooh, woo, woo Ooh, I wanna be Ooh, I wanna be (Ooh) Something to you Sweet, sweet darling Ooh, I wanna be Ooh, I wanna be [Post-Chorus: Valerie Simpson] Oh, oh You oughta know, oh [Verse 2: Valerie Simpson] I never thought I'd be a poet Or paint a picture to sell I, I couldn't be a magician or your fortune tell, oh I never thought I'd be in movies Or dance my way to the stars I couldn't be a politician or walk on Mars [Pre-Chorus: Valerie Simpson] Oh, I try so hard Living in this world when we're apart But all I really want to do If I had one wish come true Oh, I'd really wanna be [Chorus: Ashford & Simpson, Valerie Simpson] Something to you (Something to you) Ooh, I wanna be Ooh, I wanna be (Let me be) Something to you (Something to you, oh baby) Ooh, I wanna be Ooh, I wanna be (Ooh) [Instrumental Break] [Pre-Chorus: Valerie Simpson, Nickolas Ashford, Ashford & Simpson] If I had one wish come true (Yeah) All I want (Woo), all I wanna be is [Chorus: Ashford & Simpson, Nickolas Ashford, Valerie Simpson] Something to you (Something to you) Ooh, I wanna be (Let me, let me, let me) Ooh, I wanna be (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Something to you (You, ah yeah) Ooh, I wanna be (I wanna, I wanna) Ooh, I wanna be (Just once in a lifetime) Something to you (Ah baby) Ooh, I wanna be (Let me, let me be) Ooh, I wanna be (Baby, baby, baby) Something to you Ooh, I wanna be (You know) Ooh, I wanna be (Ooh, something) [Outro: Ashford & Simpson] Something
