I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
Yet I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream

Or the grumpy way he talks?
Or the pear-shaped, square-shaped
Weirdness of his feet?
And though we know he washes well
He always ends up sort of smelly
But you'll never meet a fellow who's as
Sensitive and sweet!
So he's got a few flaws
Like his peculiar brain dear
His thing with the reindeer
That's a little outside of nature's laws!
So he's a bit of a fixer-upper
But this we're certain of
You can fix this fixer-upper
Up with a little bit of love!
Is it the way that he runs scared?
Or that he's socially impaired?
Or that he only likes to tinkle in the woods... what?!
Are you holding back your
Fondness due to his unmanly blondness?
Or the way he covers up
That he's the honest goods?
He's got a couple of bugs
His isolation is confirmation
Of his desperation for human hugs
So he's a bit of a fixer-upper
But we know what to do
The way to fix up this fixer-upper
Is to fix him up with you!
To someone else, okay?!
That's a minor thing
Her quote 'engagement' is a flex arrangement
And by the way I don't see no ring!
So she's a bit of a fixer-upper
Her brain's a bit betwixt
Get the fiancé out of the way and
The whole thing will be fixed
'Cause people don't really change
We're only saying that love's a force
That's powerful and strange
People make bad choices if they're mad
Or scared, or stressed
Throw a little love their way
And you'll bring out their best
True love brings out their best!
That's what it's all about!
Father!
Sister!
Brother!
We need each other
To raise us up and round us out
Everyone's a bit of a fixer-upper
But when push comes to shove
That can fix up a fixer-upper is
True, true, true!
Love. True love!

You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
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 troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together, we can see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
Bigger and stronger too, maybe
But none of them will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you, boy
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see, it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Life may be swift and fleeting
Hope may die, yet love's beautiful music
Comes each day like the dawn
Love is a song that never ends
One simple theme repeating
Like the voice of a heavenly choir
Love's sweet music flows on
Like the voice of a heavenly choir
Love's sweet music flows on.

So this is love,
So this is what makes life divine,
I’m all aglow,
And now I know,
The key to all heaven is mine,
My heart has wings,
And I can fly,
I’ll touch ev’ry star in the sky,
So this is the miracle that I’ve been dreaming of,
So this is love.
