When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights

You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you got to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got a friend

If the sky… above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud now
Soon I'll be knocking upon your door

You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yes I will, see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, yeah
All you got to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?

People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
Well, they'll take your soul if you let them
Oh yeah, but don't you let them

You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Oh baby, don't you know about
Winter, spring, summer, or fall

Hey now, all you've got to do is call, Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend. You've got a friend, yeah
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend
