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 night.
You just call out my name, and you know wherever 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. (2nd time -- *)
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.
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.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you got to do is call
and 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.
