'When you're down and troubled and you need some love and 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.
chorus: 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.
If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds,
And that old north wind begins to blow,
Keep your head together and call my name out loud.
Soon you'll hear me knockin' at 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 have to do is call
and I'll be there, yes, I will.
Now ain't it good to know that you've got a
friend
when 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 to see you again.
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.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend…'
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.
