[Verse 1]
Now I ain't lookin' to compete with you
Beat on, cheat on, mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy, mystify you

[Chorus]
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you

[Verse 3]
I ain't lookin' to block you up
Dock or rock or lock you up
Analyze you, categorize you
Finalize or advertise you
[Chorus]
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you

[Verse 4]
I don't want to straight-face you up
Race or chase or track or trace you
Or disgrace you or displace you
Or define you or confine you

[Chorus]
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you

[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus]
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you
