Intro:  D   A   E    A   D   A   E    A   D   A   E    A   D   A   E  A  
DI ain't lAookin' to compEete with yAou,
DBeat or chAeat or mEistreat yAou,
DSimplifAy you, clEassifAy you,
DenDy, DefAy, or crEucifAy you.
AAll I rDeally want to dAoF#m  D  
Is, bEaby, be friDends with yAou
No, and 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.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.
GI don't want to fake you out,
BmTake or shake or forsake you out,
EmI ain't wanting you to fAeel like me,
CSee like me or bFe like mDe.F  D  
I ain't lookin' to block you up
Shock or knock or lock you up,
Analyze you, categorize you,
Finalize you or advertise you.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.
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.
