(M. JaggerK. 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
