Story Behind The Song

This is the story of me having a crazy ex-wife, and I've learned my lesson to be a lot more picky with future relationships. So I talk about what I don't want, and then about what I do want. I wrote this for "that girl" that I did finally find. Her last name is Wanta, hence the word play.

Song Description

Lyrics

I don't want no girl who is crazy
Well that much is easy
I guess it's not that easy, I've tried
Don't give me that girl who's a flake or is fake or can't take it
When I'm messin' 'round just bein' a guy

It's a shame she's psycho,
I can't quite let go
Of the pain that remains
from her twisted brain
I don't mind the typical
ways as women go
But that last one was insane

I wanta girl
Who understands when a
man needs to be a man
I wanta girl to be my baby when
I need someone to come home to
I want to wanta girl like you
I gotta have a girl like you

Got to find a girl who is easy
I don't mean sleazy
I know the guys will think
that's a shame
I need a girl who will try,
make me smile even while
I'm depressed about losin' the game

I don't want no drama from
my kids' mama
But you'll see it will be
an impossibility
Please don't run away just yet
You'll like me I bet
Just come on over and see

I wanta girl
Who understands when a
man needs to be a man
I wanta girl to be my baby
when I need someone to come home to
I want to wanta girl like you
I gotta have a girl like you

She like to dance dance dance dance Like nobody's watchin'
Dance dance dance dance
Like she doesn't even care
No other like this girl I swear
She like to dance dance dance dance Watch her move that body
Dance dance dance dance
And throw her hands up in the air

You can move to the groove
just don't lose your mind

I wanta girl
Who understands when a
man needs to be a man
I wanta girl to be my baby
when I need someone to come home to
Gotta have a girl like you
Who understands when a
man needs to be a man
I wanta girl to be my baby
when I need someone to come home to
I want to wanta girl like you
