      Let him off the lead sometimes, set him free

      Give me the look of love, not jealousy

      Get your nails out of my back 
      Stop using me 
 
VERSE: 
 
      You know I really, really want to be your friend 
      But just a little faith is all we need 
      I don`t need no dog eat dog world for you and me 
      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 
 
VERSE: 
 
      If you really want to be my friend 
      And I really want to understand you baby 
      If you really want to be my friend 
      If you really want to understand me 
      I really want to be your man 
      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
