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 ev'rybody 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 a 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
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
Ay, but you got a little charm around
you
I'll be there when they finally hound
you
Hound you, hound you
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
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
can't thrive on jealousy
I
really want to understand you
I really want to be your man
'Cause understanding is something
ev'rybody needs
I really want to be your friend
And I love you, love you, yes, I do
