Cameo - I Just Want To Be Lyrics
Pleasure is my thing, I want to tell you.
I'll do what you want me to, or I'll do nothing at all!
I just want to be what you want me to be.
Wind it up and see what you want me to be.
A get me hot and see what you want me to be.
If you want me to, I'll do it.
If you want to dance lets get to it.
Let's not take too long let's move it.
Cause if you take too long, you lose it.
Who said that funk was done just by one.
Who said that it was never ever done?
Who said the two of us couldn't groove.
Music is here for everyone.
Just to dance just to have some fun.
Just because, we did it before.
Doesn't mean we can't have some more.
I just want to be what you want me to be.
Wind it up and see what you want me to be.
I just want to be what you want me to be.
I'll be your freaky deak if you want me to be.
Play my music loud I'll do my dance for you.
Cause when the music's pumping its hard to tell what we're gonna do.
If you think you can we'll dance to death all night.
Cause the pleasure I can give will make things turn out right.
If you want me to, I'll do it.
If you want to dance lets get to it.
Let's not take too long let's move it.
Cause if you take too long, you lose it.
Who said that funk was done just by one.
Who said that it was never ever done?
Who said the two of us couldn't groove.
It wasn't me but maybe it was you.
Music is here for everyone.
Just to dance just to have some fun.
Just because, we did it before.
Doesn't mean we can't have some more.
I just want to be what you want me to be.
Wind it up and see what you want me to be.
I just want to be what you want me to be.
I'll be your freaky deak if you want me to be.
Music will make things turn out right
And I will dance till the broad day light
Feel my body fulfill your needs
Cause I know you're hungry
And I'm here to please
Alright, alright, alright, alright!
I just want to be what you want me to be.
Wind it up and see what you want me to be.
I just want to be what you want me to be.
I'll be your freaky deak if you want me to be.
Who said that funk was done just by one.
Who said that it was never ever done?
Who said the two of us couldn't groove.
It wasn't me but maybe it was you.
Music is here for everyone.
Just to dance just to have some fun.
Just because, we did it before.
Doesn't mean we can't have some more.
Who said that funk was done just by one.
Who said that it was never ever done?
Who said the two of us couldn't groove.
It wasn't me but maybe it was you.
Who said? We said? Who said?

I was fortunate to see them perform this live in 1980 Dallas TX. Still one of the best concerts ever.
Roller Skating rink 1979
ivory soap floats. ....float on with the floaters
This was played at my 15th birthday house party. As soon as you hear the start, the dance floor fills up. My parent gave the Secret Omen album as a present. December 1979
💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Best thing that ever happened
It's a a promo
Back in '79 in Chicago on 'BMX n WGCI...
So many great memories of dancing with my brother like our lives depended on it whenever this song came on. He's gone now but I'm making new memories with my 7 yr old grandson who will put down his Sega Genesis to dance to this funk. Thanks Cameo. This song is now officially a family tradition
LOVE...AFTER HOURS PARTYING...❤❤❤❤❤
cameo = 1 platinum album; 8 U.S. gold albums; and 1 U.K. gold album.
the most successful funk band of all time.
From Baltimore living in the NY Metro area. I remember the summer of 79 13 years old going to the Greensboro Colosseum to see Cameo, The SOS Band, The G.A.P Band and the Isley Brothers, great memories...
Imagine a time where this music was cool with young people
I been looking for this one for over 30 years. I couldn't remember the lyrics quite right. Thanks for sharing. 😎
Cameo, over 40 years, wow!! A living legend!
With this song, You get to hear all of the instruments, playing with the lyrics, all at the same time Which makes for some really great 🎶 🎶 music !!! Cameo came out in 1974....I was approximately 9 year's old, Do the math homework it's 2019, for those of you who don't know how much that is i am 54. 😎
At 2:17 the bass players know that plucked string is coming ...hahaha !!!
Aaron Mills on Bass
I love cameo too. Their songs are great and I love dancing to the music. 2019
Same age bro..brings so much memories like rollerskating at a place called terrace and ontario place...yessssaa!

This Jan is off the hook I used to break dance and pop
At 53 I still listen to the old music the new age music I do not like old school music but never die
1979, i was 14 and my eyes start to dance & my ears got red.
