Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
A helping hand you lend
In my time of need
Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
(I call on you my friend )
Listen, listen
Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
A helping hand you lend
In my time of need
Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
Whenever I'm down
And all that's going on
It's really going on,
just one of tho___se days and ya
You say the right things,
to keep me going on
To keep me going strong
Whenever I'm down
Ain't nobody, Ain't nobody
Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
Whenever I'm down
I call on you
