Queen - You're My Best Friend Lyrics

Queen Lyrics

"You're My Best Friend"

Ooh, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live

Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
(Ooh) Oh, you're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, I've been wandering 'round ('Round)
But still come back to you
(Ooh, still come back to you)
In rain or shine, you've stood by me, girl (Girl)
I'm happy at home
(happy at home)
You're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live

Oh, you're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
Oh, you're my best friend (Oh)

Ooh, you make me live
(Live, live, live)
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend, oh
Oh, you're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live, ooh
Ooh, you're my best friend

Writer(s): John Deacon

The band's bass player John Deacon, who wrote this love song, was inspired by his wife, Veronica Tetzlaff, whom he married in January 1975.

This track was initially included on the album and later released as a single with "'39" as the B-side.

John Deacon wanted to write a song incorporating an electric piano, but Freddie Mercury refused to play it. So Deacon had to take the piano home and learned to play it. During live performances though, a grand piano was used, and it would be played by Freddie Mercury, while Deacon played the bass guitar.

The music video depicts the band in a ballroom surrounded by thousands of candles. It was shot at Elstree Studios, London, in April 1976. Here John Deacon plays a grand piano rather than the electric one he used on the recording.

This track was featured in the film "Shaun Of The Dead" (2004) and in the opening credits of the film "The Break-Up" (2006).
