"You've Got A Friend In Me" lyrics

"You've Got A Friend In Me"
(originally by Randy Newman & Lyle Lovett)

You've got a friend in me
And you've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
Baby you've got a friend in me
You've got a pal in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got your troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything, I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
Darling, you've got a friend in me

Now some of the boys might be
A little smarter than I am
Or bigger and stronger, too
Baby none of them is ever gonna love you
The way I do
Oh it's me and you know
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see, it's our destiny
'Cause you've got a friend in me
My baby you've got a friend in me

Now some of the boys might be
A little smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger, too
Baby none of them is ever gonna love you
The way I do
'Cause it's me and you
And as the years go by
Our love will never die
You're gonna see, it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
Now baby you've got a friend in me
You believe in me
You've got a friend in me
My darling, you've got a friend in me

Randy Newman wrote this as the theme song for the animation film "Toy Story" (1995).
Some background information were given by Randy Newman in his interview with Rolling Stone in 2017: "The song is about the friendship of Woody and the boy, Andy. I asked for adjectives, they gave me 'friendly', 'comforting'. I took them seriously. Cartoon figures have adult emotions."
The film also features a duet version with Randy Newman and Lyle Lovett. "Toy Story 3" features a Spanish version by the Gipsy Kings.
When Michael Bublé made a cover of this song for his album "To Be Loved" (2013), it reached number 10 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
