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 have 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
And soon I will be knocking upon your door

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
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
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again

Oh babe, don't you know that
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?
You've got a friend
