When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, oh, nothing is going right.
Close your eyes
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
And soon I will 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.
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, baby, 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.
Oh, yeah, yeah,  you've got a friend.
