      Get your nails out, stop bleeding me 
 
BREAK: 
 
      You know, people tell me you are a vulture 
      Say you`re a sore in a cancer culture 
      Ay, but you got a little charm around you 
      I`ll be there when they finally hound you 
      Hound you, hound you

      I want to try to give you a helping hand 
 
VERSE: 
 
      I really want to be your friend 
      I want to push you when you`re up 
      And pull you when you`re down 
      If you really want you to understand me 
      I`ll tell you something, that love can thrive on jealousy 
 
VERSE: 
 
      I really want to understand you 
      I really want to be your man 
      `Cause understanding is something everybody needs 
      I really want to be your friend 
      And I love you, love you, yes, I do
