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 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 now
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, 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 (out my name)
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Oh babe, don't you know about,
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.
