If You Really Want To Be My Friend Lyrics

    (m. jagger/k. richards)

    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
