All I Really Want To Do

words by Bob Dylan

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, and 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 ain’t 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 don’t want to straight-face you
race or chase you
track 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 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

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
All I really want to do
is baby be friends with you
