Beat on, cheat on, mistreat you
 Simplify you, classify you
 Deny, defy, mystify you

 All I really want to do
 Is baby, be friends with you
 Baby, be friends with you

 Now 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
 Baby, be friends with you

 I ain't lookin' to block you up
 Dock or rock or lock you up
 Analyze you, categorize you
 Finalize or advertise you

 All I really want to do, yeah
 Is baby, be friends with you
 Baby, be friends with you

 I don't want to straight-face you
 Race or chase or track or trace you
 Or disgrace you or displace you
 Or define you or confine you

 All I really want to do, yeah
 Is baby, be friends with you
 Baby, be friends with you

 Now 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
