If You Really Want To Be My Friend — текст песни (Rolling Stones)

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
