When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, no nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even the darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know where ever I am
I'll come running, just to see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there - you've got a friend
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together and call my name
Out loud
Soon I will be knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know where ever I am
I'll come running, just to see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there - you've got a friend
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
They'll take your soul if you let them
But don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know where ever I am
I'll come running, just to see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there - you've got a friend
You've got a friend
