  • Ah you're my best friend (you are my best friend), and I love you so well
    Till the end of time you won't see me
    Ah you're my best friend (you are my best friend), and I see you, it seems
    Now I can see I've fallen into your love stream

    I'll follow your dream
    Do you know what I mean, yeah
    I'll follow you wherever time will take me to
    Forever I'll be one with you, one with you, one with you

    Ah you're my best friend (you are my best friend), am I all that you're seeing
    I'll set you free, and then just like me you'll be being
    In love with me
    Do you know what I mean, yeah
    Do you know what I mean
    I'm gonna set you free
    You'll be in love with me
    You're my best friend, now

    Ah you're my best friend (you are my best friend), and I love you so well
    Till the end of time you won't see me
    Ah you're my best friend (you are my best friend), and I see you, it seems
    Now I can see I've fallen into your love stream

    I'll follow your dream
    Do you know what I mean
    Do you know what I mean
    You'll be in love with me
    I'm gonna set you free
    Ah, you're my best friend, now

  • Paddy Mcq from Louisville, KyThe second "you are my best friend" in the chorus (in parenthesis) doesn't exist in the song. They are instead singing something, undiscernible, 2 or 3 syllables long.
  • Tad from EuropePossibly, but possibly not.
  • Ted from Phoenix, Az"You're My Best Friend," was, in fact, the first single released from the Surrealistic Pillow album in the U.S., but it went nowhere nationally and in most markets. It's a good song with rather odd lyrics. When I first heard it, I thought it was a homosexual relationship that was being described ("You'll be in love with me. Do you know what I mean?") One of the few songs with lyrics and vocals that Booker T. and the MGs released, "Johnny I Love You," also covers the same lyrical territory.
