[Intro: Roberta Flack]
Ooh, hoo, hoo
Ooh, hoo, hoo

[Verse 1: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway]
When you're down and troubled
And you need some lovin' care
And nothing, nothing is goin' right
Hmm, close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

[Chorus: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway]
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 got to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

[Bridge: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway]
Ain't it good to know
That you got a friend?
People can be so cold, yeah yeah
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

[Chorus: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway]
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, running
To see you again
Look out, hey
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
(I'll be there)
You've got a friend

[Outro: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway]
(Say it again, woo-hoo)
You've got a friend
(You got a friend, indeed)
You got a friend, you got
You got a friend, oh darling
You got a friend, ooh ooh ooh
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
You got a friend
You got a friend
