Lyrics for All I Really Want to Do - Single Version

I don't want to compete with you Beat or cheat or mistreat you Classify you, simplify you Deny, defy or crucify you All I really want to do Is baby, be friends with you No, I ain't lookin' to fight with you Frighten you or uptighten you Drain you down or chain you down Drag you down or bring you down All I really want to do Is baby, be friends with you I don't want to fake you out Shake or take or forsake you out I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me See like me or be like me 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 All I really want to do Is baby, be friends with you Baby, be friends with you Baby, be friends with you
