I Wanna Be Down (Single Version) Lyrics

I would like to get to know if I could be
The kind of girl that you could be down for

Cause when I look at you I feel something tell me

That you’re the kind of guy that I should
Make a move on, on

And if I don’t let you know, then I won’t be for real

I could be wrong but I feel like something could be going on

The more I see you the more, that it becomes so true

There ain’t no other for me it’s only you, (down)
I wanna be down, with what you’re going through

I wanna be down (down), I wanna be down with you
(down with you, whoa oh yeah)

No matter the time, of day or night it’s true I wanna be down
(down, down, down)

I know anybodies gonna be lonely

Without the reason they got someone to care, for
Maybe all you needs a shoulder to cry on

If that’s a fact then i’ll be more then you ever, could dream
Of, of

If all you need is my time, that I got plenty of

I’ll dedicate all my love, into you only baby

I wanna stay by your side, be there to cool you off

And let you know everything, will be alright (down woah yeah)

I wanna be down, with what you’re going through (yeah)

I wanna be down (I wanna be down), I wanna be down with you
(with you)

No matter the time (no matter the time, babe), of day or night it’s true

I wanna be down (wanna be, gotta be down)


I wanna be down, with what you’re going through

I wanna be down (I wanna be down), I wanna be down with you (hey, I wanna be down)
No matter the time, of day or night it’s true (no matter the time of day or night it’s true)

I wanna be down (wanna be down) down, down

Down

Down

Down, oh yeah

Yeah, yeah

Down

Down

Down

I wanna be down (I wanna be down), with what you’re going through (with only you my baby)

I wanna be down (I wanna be down, with only you), I wanna be down with you

No matter the time (ah yeah), of day or night it’s true

I wanna be down (wanna be, got to be down)
I want to be down (I want to be)

With what you're going through (oh, yeah, I got to be)

I want to be down (I wanna be yeah)
I want to be down with you (down with you)

No matter the time of day or night (I wanna yeah)
It's true, I want to be down (down, woah, yeah)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Brandy Norwood was only 15 when her debut was released in 1994, but Brandy shows an artist wise beyond her years and ready to spread her wings. The singer’s feather-light voice dips in and out of productions that blend hip-hop beats, shimmying soul, and pop sensibilities. Radio-ready gems like the teasing “I Wanna Be Down” and the wounded “Brokenhearted” balance Brandy’s light vocal touch with undeniable presence; her whispered determination on “I’m Yours” helps transform it into a love song for all ages.
