When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving 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 to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Goes dark and full of clouds
And that old North wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
Then call my name out loud
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, running, running. . .
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
Now, ain't it good to know
That you've got a friend
Then people can be so cold
They'll hurt you
Yes, and desert you
And 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, running, running, yeah!
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Yes, I will
Yes, I will
You've got a friend
Oh, yeah, you've got a friend
Oh ain't it good to know
Ain't it good to know
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
