1789
Lion's Law Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 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.
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.
