If You Really Want To Be My Friend Lyrics - It's Only Rock & Roll - 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
