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 night
 
 you just call out my name
 
 and you know where ever I am
 
 I'll come running, oh yeah baby
 
 to see you again.
 
 Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
 
 all you have 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
 
 and 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 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.
