If You Really Want To Be My Friend Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 If you really want to be my friend

2 Let me live it up like I used to do

3 If you really want to understand me

4 There's some giving up we got to do

5 I know ev'rybody wants to be your man

6 I don't want to tie you up, go ahead, you're free

7 And I never want to scar you with my brand

8 We could live it up, just a you and me

9 If you really want to understand a man

10 Let him off the lead sometimes, set him free

11 If you really, really want to be my friend

12 Give me the look of love, not jealousy

13 I know you think that life is a thriller

14 You play the vamp, I play the killer

15 Now baby, what's the use of fighting?

16 By the last reel we'll be cryin' cryin', cryin

17 If you really want to be my man

18 Get your nails out of my back

19 Stop using me

20 You know I really, really want to be your friend

21 But just a little faith is all we need

22 I don't want no dog eat dog world for you and me

23 Get your nails out, stop bleeding me

24 You know, people tell me you are a vulture

25 Say you're a sore in a cancer culture

26 Ay, but you got a little charm around you

27 I'll be there when they finally hound you

28 Hound you, hound you

29 If you really want to be my friend

30 And I really want to understand you baby

31 If you really want to be my friend

32 If you really want to understand me

33 I really want to be your man

34 I want to try to give you a helping hand

35 I really want to be your friend

36 I want to push you when you're up

37 And pull you when you're down

38 If you really want you to understand me

39 I'll tell you something, that love can't thrive on jealousy

40 I really want to understand you

41 I really want to be your man

42 'Cause understanding is something ev'rybody needs

43 I really want to be your friend

44 And I love you, love you, yes, I do
