Now I ain't lookin' to compete with you

Beat on, cheat on, mistreat you

Simplify you, classify you

Deny, defy, mystify you



All I really want to do

Is baby, be friends with you

Baby, be friends with you



Now I ain't lookin' to fight with you

Frighten you or uptighten you

Drag you down or drain you down

Chain you down or bring you down



All I really want to do

Is baby, be friends with you

Baby, be friends with you



I ain't lookin' to block you up

Dock or rock or lock you up

Analyze you, categorize you

Finalize or advertise you



All I really want to do, yeah

Is baby, be friends with you

Baby, be friends with you



I don't want to straight-face you

Race or chase or track or trace you

Or disgrace you or displace you

Or define you or confine you



All I really want to do, yeah

Is baby, be friends with you

Baby, be friends with you



Now I don't want to meet your kin

Make you spin or do you in

Or select you or dissect you

Or inspect you or reject you



All I really want to do

Is baby, be friends with you

Baby, be friends with you
