When you're down and troubled

and you need a helping hand

and nothing, whoa,

nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of

me and soon I will be there

to brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,

and you know where ever I am

I'll come running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall,

all you have to do is call and

I'll be there, yeah, yeah,

you've got a friend.

If the sky above you should

turn dark and full of clouds

and that old north wind

should begin to blow,

keep your head together

and call my name out loud.

Soon I will be knocking upon your door

You just call out my name,

and you know where ever I am

I'll come running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you

have to do is call and I'll be there

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've

got a friend? People can be so cold.

They'll hurt you and desert you. Well,

they'll take your soul if you let them,

oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name,

and you know where ever I am

I'll come running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall,

all you have to do is call,

Lord, I'll be there, yeah, yeah,

you've got a friend.

You've got a friend.

Ain't it good to know you've

got a friend. Ain't it good

to know you've got a friend.

Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend.
