Lyrics
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 up tighten you
Drag you down or bring 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
Baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you
Writer(s): Bob Dylan
