-- OR -- 
When youre 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 whereever I am
Ill come running ... oh yeah baby ... to see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall ... all you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah ... youve 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
And soon ... I will be knocking upon your door
You just call out my name ... and you know whereever I am
Ill come running ... oh yeah baby ... to see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall ... all you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey aint it good to know ... that youve got a friend
People can be so cold
Theyll hurt you ... and desert you ... well theyll take your soul if you let them
Oh yeah but dont you let them.
You just call out my name ... and you know wherever I am
Ill come running ... to see you again
Oh babe dont you know that winter spring summer or fall
Hey now all youve got to do is call ... lord Ill be there yes I will
Youve got a friend ... youve got a friend
Aint it good to know youve got a friend ... aint it good to know youve got a friend
