The opening track of Another Side of Bob Dylan; the Byrds and Cher both released versions in 1965.
The words
A man assures a woman that he wants nothing from her except friendship, with no demands and no games.
The singer runs through a long list of things he will not do to the woman he is addressing, all the ways he will not try to change, trap or own her. The list keeps growing, each line a playful denial, before returning to the simple refrain of what he does want. Dylan sings it with yodels and laughter breaking through, a buoyant opening that announces the lighter, more personal record.
