If you really want to be my friend |
|
Let me live it up like I used to do |
|
If you really want to understand me |
|
There's some giving up we got to do |
|
I know everybody wants to be your man |
|
I don't want to tie you up, go ahead, you're free |
|
And I never want to scar you with my brand |
|
We could live it up, just you and me |
|
If you really want to understand a man |
|
Let him off the lead sometimes, set him free |
|
If you really, really want to be my friend |
|
Give me the look of love, not jealousy |
|
I know you think that life is a thriller |
|
You play the vamp, I play the killer |
|
Now baby, what's the use of fighting? |
|
By the last reel we'll be cryin', cryin', cryin', yeah |
|
If you really want to be my man |
|
Get your nails out of my back, stop using me |
|
You know I really, really want to be your friend |
|
But just a little faith is all we need |
|
I don't want no dog eat dog world for you and me |
|
Get your nails out, stop bleeding me |
|
You know people tell me you are a vulture |
|
Say you're a sore in a cancer culture |
|
Now but you got a little charm around you |
|
I'll be there when they finally hound you |
|
Hound you, hound you, oh yeah |
|
If you really want to be my friend |
|
And I really want to understand you baby |
|
If you really want to be my friend |
|
If you really want to understand me |
|
I really want to be your man |
|
I want to try to give you a helping hand |
|
[Incomprehensible] |
|
I really want to be your friend |
|
I want to push you when you're up |
|
And pull you when you're down |
|
If you really want you to understand me |
|
I'll tell you something, that love |
|
That love can't thrive on jealousy |
|
I really want to understand you |
|
Maybe try to understand you baby |
|
I really want to be your man |
|
'Cause understanding is something everybody needs |
|
I really want to be your friend |
|
And I love you, love you, yes, I do |
