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 wherever I am

I'll come running, oh yeah baby

to see you again

Winter, spring, summer, or fall,

all you got to do is call

and I'll be there, yeah, 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 now

and soon I'll 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 got to do is call

and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah

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 wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again

Oh babe, don't you know that,

Winter spring summer or fall,

Hey now, all you've got to do is call

Lord, I'll be there, yes I will

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

You've got a friend
