If you really want to be my friend
Let me live it up like I used to do
If you really want to understand me
There's some giving up we got to do
I know ev'rybody wants to be your man
I don't want to tie you up, go ahead, you're free
And I never want to scar you with my brand
We could live it up, just a you and me
If you really want to understand a man
Let him off the lead sometimes, set him free
If you really, really want to be my friend
Give me the look of love, not jealousy
I know you think that life is a thriller
You play the vamp, I play the killer
Now baby, what's the use of fighting?
By the last reel we'll be cryin' cryin', cryin
If you really want to be my man
Get your nails out of my back
Stop using me
You know I really, really want to be your friend
But just a little faith is all we need
I don't want no dog eat dog world for you and me
Get your nails out, stop bleeding me
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
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
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't thrive on jealousy
I really want to understand you
I really want to be your man
'Cause understanding is something ev'rybody needs
I really want to be your friend
And I love you, love you, yes, I do

I Rolling Stones sono una leggendaria band rock britannica formatasi nel 1962 a Londra. Composta da Mick Jagger (voce), Keith Richards (chitarra), Ronnie Wood (chitarra) e Charlie Watts (batteria, deceduto nel 2021), i Rolling Stones hanno dominato la scena musicale per oltre mezzo secolo. La formazione storica includeva anche Bill Wyman (basso, ritiratosi nel 1993) e Brian Jones (multi-strumentista, deceduto nel 1969). Dopo la scomparsa di Jones, Mick Taylor ha sostituito il suo ruolo fino al 1974. I Rolling Stones sono considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti della storia del rock, con un sound caratterizzato da blues, hard rock e ritmi lascivi. Le loro canzoni spesso affrontano temi come sesso, droghe, disordini sociali e politica, diventando un'icona di ribellione e libertà. Tra i brani più rappresentativi: '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', 'Jumpin' Jack Flash', 'Sympathy for the Devil' e 'Paint It Black'. Album fondamentali includono 'Let It Bleed', 'Sticky Fingers' e 'Exile on Main St.', che hanno contribuito a definire l'evoluzione del rock nel corso degli anni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
