When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, 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, running, yeah, yeah to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend

If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Just keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, yeah, yeah to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I'll be there
Well, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold?
They'll hurt you, yes and desert you
And they take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

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

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
You've got a friend
