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
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 a you and me

If you really want to understand a man
Let him off the lead sometimes
Set him free
If you really want to be my friend
Give me the look of love
Not jealousy

I know you think life is a thriller
You play the vamp I play the killer
Now baby whats the use of fighting
By the last reel
we'll be crying crying crying

Now if you really want to be my man
Get your nails out of my back
Stop using me
You know

I really want to be your friend
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 bleedin' me
You know

People tell me you were a vulture
Say you're a sore in a cancer culture
Aah but you got a little charm around you
I'll be there when they finally hound ya hound ya
Oooh yeah mmmmmmmmmmm

And I really want to understand you baby
I, I, yea
I wanna try to give you a helping hand
Yes I do
Wah yea
Wah yea
I wanna push you when you're up
And pull you when you're down
I tell you something
That love, that love can't thrive on jealousy
Wah no
Wah no
And I really try to understand you baby
Yes I do
Cause understanding is some thing everybody needs
Wah yea
I really want to be your friend
And I love ya
I love ya yes I do
