Call him Mr.Raider call him Mr.Wrong
Call him Mr.Vain
Call him Mr.Raider call him Mr.wrong
Call him Mr.vain
He'd say: I know what I want
And I want it now
I want you cause I'm Mr.Vain
I know what I want and I want it now
I want you cause I'm Mr.Vain

Call me Mr.Raider call me Mr.Wrong
Call me insance call me Mr.Vain
Call me what ya like
As long as you call me time and again

Fell the prensence of the aura
Of the man none to compare
Loveless dying
For a just to touch a hand

Or a moment to share
Can't deny the urge thet makes them
Want to lose themselves to the debonair one
Hold me back the simple fact is

That I'm all that and I'm always near
One sexy can't perplex me now
You know who'raw
As if you didn't know before
I know what I want and I want it now
I want you then I want a little more

Call him Mr.Raider call him Mr.Wrong
Call him Mr.Vain
Call him Mr.Raider call him Mr.wrong
Call him Mr.vain
He'd say, I know what I want
And I want it now
I want you cause I'm Mr.Vain
I know what I want and I want it now
I want you cause I'm Mr.Vain

Girls are all over the world
They hope and pray and die for men
Like me cause I'm the one
Begotten son that breaks the mold

Get a look at male epitome
Style has never seen
That makes you want to grab and hold
And squeeze real tight

Whose gonna be the one to save
You from yourself
When you want to take a bite
Please oh baby please

You beg you want to stay
You got to get some caught
Up in the charm that I laid on thick
And now there's nowhere

To run on the hook of my line
Yeah I keep many females
Longing for a chance to win my heart
Whit sex and plenty
