the rolling stones
if you really want to be my friend
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
