Lyrics
All I Really Want To Do
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I aint lookin to compete with you,
Beat or cheat or mistreat you,
Simplify you,classify you.
All I really want to do
Is,baby,be friends with you.
No,and I aint 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 aint 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 dont want to straight-face you,
Race or chase you,trick or trace you,
Or disgrace you or displace you,
Or define you or confine you.
All I really want to do
Is,baby,be friends with you
I dont want to meet your kin,
Make you spin or do you in,
Or select you or disect you,
Or inspect you or reject you.
All I really want to do
Is,baby,be friends with you
I dont want to fake you out,
Take or shake or forsake you out,
I aint lookin for you to feel like me,
See like me or be like me.
All I really want to do
Is,baby,be friends with you.
