I need help with the name of a song.
A co-worker asked me what the name of a song is so.....

Ah..It's by Micheal Jackson or the Jackson Five and she thinks one of the last lines in a verse is something like
"You got a friend in me"
I know the song but I'm coming up blank...

Oh..One of the first lines in a verse is "in this world".. ??

2. BEN???
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
(You've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
(Here and there)
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
(Anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)

I used to say, "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
(I used to say, "I" and "me")
(Now it's "us", now it's "we")

Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben

3. is it "Ben"?
i have no idea, i don't recognise the song, i just googled "jackson lyrics yout got a friend in me".
here are lyrics:

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben

5. Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
With a friend to call your own
You'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me.


Oh shit - if that's the right lyrics, I am a total loser for knowing them.
