If You Really Want To Be My Friend - 2009 Re-Mastered Digital Version
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 givin' up that we got to do
I know, everybody wants to be your man (be your man)
I don't wanna tie you up (tie you up), go ahead, you're free
And I never want to scar you with my brand (with my brand)
We could live it up (live it up), just you and me
If you really want to understand a man (understand)
Let him off the lead sometimes, set him free (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 (a thriller)
You play the vamp, I play the killer (a killer)
Now baby, what's the use of fighting?
By the last reel we'll be crying, crying, crying
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 (a vulture)
Say you're a sore in a cancer culture
Ah, but you got a little charm around you
I'll be there when they finally hound you, hound you, hound you
Ooh, yeah
If you really want to be my friend
And I really want to understand you, baby
Honey, oh yeah
If you really want to be my friend
If you really want to understand me
I really want to be your man
I wanna try to give you a helping hand (give it up)
Get the blues, oh yeah, oh yeah
I really want to be your friend (I really want to be your friend)
I wanna 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 know, I know
I really want (I really want) to understand you
Maybe try to understand you, baby
Yes, I'll treat you good
I really want to be your man
'Cause understanding is something everybody needs, oh yeah
I really want to be your friend
And I love you, I love you, yes, I do
Let me live it up like I used to do
If you really want to understand me
There's some givin' up that we got to do
I know, everybody wants to be your man (be your man)
I don't wanna tie you up (tie you up), go ahead, you're free
And I never want to scar you with my brand (with my brand)
We could live it up (live it up), just you and me
If you really want to understand a man (understand)
Let him off the lead sometimes, set him free (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 (a thriller)
You play the vamp, I play the killer (a killer)
Now baby, what's the use of fighting?
