[Verse 1]
I don't want to compete with you
Beat or cheat or mistreat you
Classify you, simplify you
Deny, decry or crucify you

[Chorus]
All I really wanna do
Is, baby, be friends with you

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm not lookin' to fight with you
Frighten you or uptighten you
Bring you down or drag you down
Chain you down or bring you down

[Chorus]
All I really wanna do
Is, baby, be friends with you

[Bridge]
I don't wanna fake you out
Shake our pretty talk, forsake you out
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me
To see like me, to be like me
[Verse 3]
Well, I don't wanna meet your kin
Make you spin or do you in
Or inspect or dissect you
Or inspect you or reject you

[Chorus]
All I really wanna do
Is, baby, be friends with you

[Refrain]
Baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you
