My Favorite Lyrics to "Another Side of Bob Dylan"

       
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 up tighten 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 

Black Crow Blues
I woke in the mornin', wand'rin', wearied and worn out
Wishin' my long lost lover would walk to me an' talk to me An' tell me what it's all about 

Spanish Harlem Incident
You have splayed me, you have made me I got to laugh halfways off my heels
I got to know, babe, yeah, will you surround me? So I can now if I'm really real 

Chimes of Freedom
Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing 

For the disrobed faceless forms of no position
Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts
All down in taken for granted situations 

I Shall Be Free No. 10
I'm everybody's brother and son  I ain't different than anyone
Well, I set my monkey on the log  And ordered him to do the Dog  He wagged his tail and shook his head  And he went and did the Cat instead  He's a weird monkey, very funky 

To Ramona
As to be by the strength of your skin  Your magnetic movements still capture the minutes I'm in
But it grieves my heart, love to see you tryin' to be a part of
A world that just don't exist  It's all just a dream, babe a vacuum, a scheme, babe
That sucks you into feelin' like this 

Motorpsycho Nightmare
"Hey, hey, in there  Is there anybody home?" 
I was standin' on the steps Feelin' most alone
Well, out comes a farmer  He must have thought that I was nuts 
He immediately looked at me  And stuck a gun into my guts 

My Back Pages
Pounced with fire on flaming roads Using ideas as my maps"
We'll meet on edges soon" said I
Proud 'neath heated brow Ahh, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that, now 

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and bad, I define these terms Quite clear, no doubt somehow
Ahh, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now 

I Don’t Believe You(She acts like we never have Met)
Though the night ran swirling and whirling I remember her whispering yet 
But evidently she don't, evidently she won't 
She just acts like we never have met  I'll be leavin' today, I'll be on my way   

Ballad in Plain D
At the peak of the night, the king and the queen Tumbled all down into pieces
"The tragic figure", her sister did shout "Leave her alone, God damn, you get out"
And I, in my armor, turning about And nailing her in the ruins of her pettiness
Beneath a bare light bulb the plaster did pound Her sister and I in a screaming battleground 

It Ain’t Me Babe
Go, melt back into the night, babe Everything inside here is made of stone
Well, there's nothing in here that's a moving An' anyway I'm not alone
You say you're looking for someone Pick you up at a time you fall
Someone to gather flowers constantly An' come at a time you call

A lover for your life, I've done much more
And it still ain't me, babe No, no, no, it sure ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
