You've Got a Friend

by Carole Kingas performed by James Taylor

         When you're 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 wherever I am 
I'll come running, oh yeah baby 
to see you again. 
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, 
all you have to do is call 
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah. 
You've 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 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, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? 
People can be so cold. 
They'll hurt you and desert you. 
Well they'll take your soul if you let them. 
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am 
I'll come running to see you again. 
Oh babe, don't you know that, 
Winter spring summer or fall, 
Hey now, all you've got to do is call. 
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will. 
You've got a friend. 
You've got a friend. 
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. 
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.

You've got a friend.
