2023-05-28 02:01:01 You've Got a Friend in Me Randy Newman
cover by Joseph Vincent

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 got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and 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
Yeah you've got a friend in me
Oh you've got a friend in me

I have a headache, so I took some painkillers.

We use the verb ‘take’ for medicine, pills, tablets vitamins and drugs — including illegal drugs.

In English, we don’t use ‘take’ to talk about drinking or eating. We just use it for medication and drugs.
