🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I'd like to be everything you want
  • Hey girl, let me talk to you
  • If I was your boyfriend, never let you go
  • Keep you on my arm girl, you'd never be alone

Echo the hook

  • I'd never let you go
  • Tell me what you like yeah tell me what you don't
  • I could be your Buzz Lightyear fly across the globe
  • I don't never wanna fight yeah, you already know
