When you're down
When you're down
When you're down and troubled
And you need a lovin' friend
When nothin' never ever never never never go right
That's when you got to close your eyes and think of me
I'll soon be there
To brighten up oh those lonely hours
And those lonely lonely nights
Call out my name
And you'll know, wherever I am
'Cause I'll come runnin'
To see you again

'Cause winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
'Cause I'll be there
You've got a friend

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold?
They'll hurt you, Lord knows they will desert you
Take your soul if you let them
Oh, don't you let them
You got to call up a name
Let me feel a vibration, babe
And you'll know, wherever I am
'Cause I'll come runnin'
I will be on my way

'Cause winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
Oh babe
Oh babe
You've got a friend

Let me clap my hands
Talkin' to everybody up there
If you're friend with somebody
Talk to the ones that may need a friend
