[Verse 1]
When you're down and troubled
And you need some lovin' care
And nothing, no nothing is going right
Just close your eyes and think of me
And soon I'll be there, to brighten up
Yeah, even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come a-running, yeah yeah
To see you again
[Chorus]
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do, is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend, oh yeah
You got a friend, you got a friend, you've got a friend..
[Verse 2]
When the sky, above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind, yeah
He begins to blow
Here's what you do baby
You keep your head together, together baby
And call my name out loud
An' you'll hear me knocking
Knocking at your door
Oh yes I will, yes I will
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come a-running, yeah, yeah
To see you again
Ooohhhhh
[Chorus]
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there yes I will
[Verse 3]
Ain't it good to know
That you got a friend
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you, yeah, and desert you
And take your soul, if you let them
But don't let them, no no no, don't let them
Ooohhh..
[Chorus]
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call and I'll be there
I'll be there, yes I will
[Outro]
You've got a friend, yes you do
You've got a friend, yes you do
Right till the end, right for you
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend, yes you do
You've got a friend, yes you do
Right till the end, right for you
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend, yes you do
You've got a friend, yes you do
Right till the end, right for you
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend, yes you do
You've got a friend, yes you do
Right till the end, right for you
When you're down and troubled
And you need some lovin' care
And nothing, no nothing is going right

And soon I'll be there, to brighten up
Yeah, even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come a-running, yeah yeah
