I ain't lookin' to compete with you

Beat or cheat or mistreat you

Simplify you, classify 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 tighten 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



I don't want to fake you out

Take or shake 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
