You're My Best Friend

Queen

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
Oh, you're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, I've been wandering 'round
Still come back to you (still come back to you)
In rain or shine, you've stood by me 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, you're my best friend

    this song was actually written by John Deacon (bassguitar). Queen are not only Freddie Mercury...

    I think it's about his best friend/girlfriend/wife and how she got him through so much and also saying his girlfriend/wife is his best friend.

    "In rain or shine you've stood by me GIRL." Ivoryjukebox, I don't think this was written from a guy to a guy. This is such a happy, feel good song. Cheesy, check. Unoriginal, check. But nonetheless a song that is just brilliant to listen to and put you in a good mood.

    I love this song. Tis mine and my friend's song. It's about friendship. Duh. And probably is about more, but none of you know this because none of you can ask Freddie Mercury because he is currently dead. And just for the record, ivoryjukebox, I tell my girl friends that I love them every day. And I am fully straight, so go die in a hole.

    ivoryjukebox, you can be quiet now. go stand in the corner. This is probably my favorite Queen song. My boyfriend gave me a mixed CD on Valentine's Day this year, and this was the first track. I was best friends with him for over a year, and the only reason I became friends with him was because I had a crush on him. Now we're in love, and he's still my best friend. And he's "making me live". :)
