When you're down and troubled

And you need a helping hand

And nothing, oh, 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've 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

Soon I'll be knocking upon your door

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running, oh, yes, I will

To see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall, yeah

All you've 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?

When 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, baby don't you know 'bout

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, yeah

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
