Bump - because if I responded in the So thread, it would remain lost

Holy crap, this thread is old. Perhaps I was thinking of a newer thread? At any rate...

My iPod has been kicking some great tunes at me lately. I tried to cut it down to a small quote but this really is a whole, perfect piece of poetry that defies editing.

---

I ain't lookin' to compete with you
Beat or cheat or mistreat you
Simplify you or classify you
Deny, defy or crucify you
All i really want to do
Is baby be friends with you.

No an' 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 aint lookin' to block you up
Shock or knock or lock you up
Analyse 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 straightface 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
I aint 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.

-Bob Dylan

Maybe that was it. Oh well, I'm sticking with this one now...even though I have more lyrics to post.

This one isn't just amazing poetry - you have to hear it too.

---

This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am, don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up

And you said, "This is the first day of my life.
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you.
But, now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy."

So if you wanna be with me
With these things there's no telling
We'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery

Besides, maybe this time it's different
I mean I really think you like me
