[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

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
