(M. Jagger/K. Richards)If you really want to be my friendLet me live it up like I used to doIf you really want to understand meThere's some giving up we got to doI know ev'rybody wants to be your manI don't want to tie you up, go ahead, you're freeAnd I never want to scar you with my brandWe could live it up, just a you and meIf you really want to understand a manLet him off the lead sometimes, set him freeIf you really, really want to be my friendGive me the look of love, not jealousyI know you think that life is a thrillerYou play the vamp, I play the killerNow baby, what's the use of fighting?By the last reel we'll be cryin' cryin', cryinIf you really want to be my manGet your nails out of my backStop using meYou know I really, really want to be your friendBut just a little faith is all we needI don't want no dog eat dog world for you and meGet your nails out, stop bleeding meYou know, people tell me you are a vultureSay you're a sore in a cancer cultureAy, but you got a little charm around youI'll be there when they finally hound youHound you, hound youIf you really want to be my friendAnd I really want to understand you babyIf you really want to be my friendIf you really want to understand meI really want to be your manI want to try to give you a helping handI really want to be your friendI want to push you when you're upAnd pull you when you're downIf you really want you to understand meI'll tell you something, that love can't thrive on jealousyI really want to understand youI really want to be your man'Cause understanding is something ev'rybody needsI really want to be your friendAnd I love you, love you, yes, I do
