I know you need somebody To be there by your side You know I’m always ready To do what makes you smile
Don’t go looking elsewhere For someone prettier than me Are they brighter, stronger, sweeter? Look into my eyes, you’ll see
Why can’t it be me? Why can’t I be your best buddy? The places we could see Hand on my head Choose me instead I’ve so much love to give, you’ll see
I don’t need fancy dresses Or shoes for my little feet No need for pedigree or papers To show you what you mean to me
I’ll be always faithful If you choose to take me home Look beyond what’s on the outside You know I’ll live for you alone
Why can’t it be me? Why can’t I be your best buddy? The places we could see Hand on my head Choose me instead I’ve so much love to give, you’ll see
I dream of a day when I’m old and gray When I can’t run so far anymore But there you’d be as you promised me Yours will be the last face I’ll see ‘Cause yes it could be me
Oh, can I be your best buddy? The places we could see Hand on my head Choose me instead I’ve so much love to give, you’ll see
