Randy Newman - You've Got A Friend In Me Lyrics

Randy Newman Lyrics

"You've Got A Friend In Me"
(from "Toy Story" soundtrack)

You've got a friend in me
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
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and we see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do
It's me and you, boy

And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Randy Newman said 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" film includes a Spanish version by the Gipsy Kings.

Michael Bublé made a cover of this song for his album "To Be Loved" (2013), and the song reached number 10 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
