Lyrics for Song: All I Really Want To Do
Lyrics for Album: The Byrds Play Dylan [2011]
All I Really Want To Do
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 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.
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.

All I Really Want To Do - The Byrds
Released on The Byrds Play Dylan [2011], this track exemplifies the group's signature blend of folk-rock and country influences. The song features a distinctive guitar-driven arrangement that captures the raw energy of the era while adhering to the songwriting traditions of Bob Dylan. As part of The Byrds' broader catalogue of Dylan covers, the recording highlights the band's ability to reinterpret folk material with their unique harmonic sensibilities and rhythmic precision. The composition remains a defining piece in the history of 1960s rock, reflecting the transition from the group's earlier psychedelic experiments to a more grounded, narrative-driven sound. |
