[Intro: Roberta Flack]
Ooh, hoo, hoo
Ooh, hoo, hoo

[Verse 1: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway]
When you're down and troubled and you need some lovin' care
And nothing, nothing is goin' right (Mm)
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

[Chorus: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway]
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, you've got a friend

[Bridge: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway]
Ain't it good to know that you got a friend?
People can be so cold, yeah, yeah
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

[Chorus: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway]
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, running, running to see you again (Look out, hey)
Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you have to do is call
And I'll be there (I'll be there), you've got a friend (Say it again, ooh-hoo)
[Outro: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway]
You got a friend (You got a friend, indeed)
You got a friend (Oh, darling, woo)
You got a friend (If you need, mm)
You got a friend (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
You got a friend (You have got a friend)
You got a friend
