You’ve Got a Friend Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[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, yes I will, you've got a friend

[Verse 2]
If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together, call my name out loud, [yeah]
Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door

[Chorus]
[So] you just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, [running, 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

[Bridge]
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend whenpeople can be so cold?
They'll hurt you, and desert you and take your soul if you let them, don't you let them
[Chorus]
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, 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

[Outro]
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
Oh happy days, oh happy days, oh happy days

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
