Randy Newman & Lyle Lovett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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, and I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can 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
The lyrics to Randy Newman & Lyle Lovett's song Toy Story is a heartwarming message about friendship. The song is about the bond between two friends and how they will always be there for each other no matter what happens. The first verse begins with a reminder that when life gets hard and you're far away from home and feeling lonely, you can always count on your friend. They will be there to support you, cheer you up, and remind you that you're not alone. The chorus emphasizes this point by repeating the line "You've got a friend in me" several times. This is a powerful message to anyone who needs a friend or is feeling lost.
The second verse talks about how everyone has troubles, but when you have a friend like the one in the song, you know that you can rely on them to help you through the tough times. The verse emphasizes the importance of sticking together and supporting each other. The next part of the song is a comparison between the singer and other people. They may be smart or strong or successful, but they will never love the listener as much as the singer does. The song ends with a statement about how friendship is destiny and that the bond between the two friends will never die.
Overall, this song is a beautiful tribute to friendship and the power of having someone there for you. It reminds us that we are not alone and that there is always someone out there who cares for us. It is a comforting message that we can all benefit from hearing.

Tu te souviens juste de ce que ton vieux copain a dit
Mec, tu as un ami en moi
Ouais, tu as un ami en moi
Je suis ton ami
Je suis ton ami
Si vous avez des problèmes, je les ai aussi
Il n'y a rien que je ne ferais pas pour toi
Nous restons unis et pouvons le voir à travers
Parce que tu as un ami en moi
Ouais, tu as un ami en moi
Certains autres pourraient être
Un peu plus intelligent que moi
Plus gros et plus fort aussi, peut-être
Mais aucun d'eux ne t'aimera jamais
La façon dont je fais, c'est toi et moi, garçon
Et au fil des années
Notre amitié ne mourra jamais
Tu vas voir que c'est notre destin
Je suis ton ami
Je suis ton ami
Ouais, tu as un ami en moi

Long time ago, my son was about 3 years old, and he was watching the Toy Story movie on VHS tape about 6 times a day; a video of Lyle Lovett and Randy Newman singing this song was included at the end. We got in an elevator at the Houston Airport and a skinny guy dressed in black was the only person in the back of the elevator. I was talking to my wife and suddenly my son pulled my pants and with his head "pointed" at the guy. I tried to avoid looking at the guy, but my son insisted and I just recognized Lyle Lovett, who with his half smile was pretending that he didn't notice my son. My son didn't stop looking at him for the 3 or 4 floors ride and when Mr. Lovett was exiting the elevator, he looked at my son and just said: " You've got a friend in me". Fifteen years later, my son got tickets to watch him perform at the Texas A&M Auditorium; he never forgot that elevator moment.y

So cool!

I have only seen Mr. Lovett and his band twice - once at an indoor performance theater with Francine Reed beltin' it out across the stage from Lyle... and outdoors at the initial weekend of concerts of the Red Ants Pants Festival in White Sulphur Springs, MT. Both times he was extremely gracious with audience and highly respectful of his bandmates. I think he's been this way ever since he started recording and having a public profile. He sure seems like the genuine article to me.
This story of the little boy and Lyle in the elevator and how Lyle handled it speaks volumes to the man's character. I liked Lyle Lovett before... but I like him a little bit more after reading this comment.
