You've Got A Friend

When you're down and troubled

And you need a helping hand

And nothing, nothing is going right (going right)

Close your eyes and think of me

And soon I will be there

To brighten up even your dark, darkest nights

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running, yes I will, to see you again (no)

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 (yeah, re-re, yeah, yeah)

If the sky above you (no, no, no, no, no, no)

Should turn dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind should begin to blow (oh, blow)

Keep your head together

And call my name out loud (la-la-la-la-la)

And girl, you know that soon, I'll be knocking, knocking at your door

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running (I'll come running)

To see you again (no)

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there, yeah

You got a friend (I know, I know, I know)

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend

People can be so cold, yeah

They'll hurt you (they hurt you)

You know they desert you (desert you)

And take your soul if you let them

No, no, don't you let them

You just call out my name (out my name)

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again

You know, we go back a long way (we sure do, baby)

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there, yes I will

You got a friend (you, you, you, you, you know)

You got a friend, yes you do (I know, I know, I know)

All of the way back

To the time here in Brooklyn, in 1962 (yeah)

Just me and you (Franklin, yeah, yeah, and Ronald)

You've got a friend, yeah, yeah

I'm going with you, yes I will

You've got a friend

You've got a friend, oh

You've got a friend (you've got a friend)

You've got a friend (you, oh yeah)
