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 evrrybody 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 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 crying.

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.

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
'Cos understanding is something everybody needs.
I really want to be your friend,
And I love you, love you, yes, I do.
