Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
[Verse 2]
When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothin', nothin' is goin' right
[Verse 3]
Hmm, close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
To brighten up even your darkest night
[Verse 4]
You just call (Out my name)
Call out my name
(And you know wherever I am)
(I'll come running) I'll come runnin', babe
To see you again
[Verse 5]
Y'all sound all good together
Winter, spring, (Summer or fall) Hey-ey
(All you got to do is call)
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got a friend
[Verse 6]
Now, ain't it good to know that you got a friend
People can be so cold
[Verse 7]
You know they'll hurt you
They'll try to desert you
Take your soul if you let them
Yeah, but don't you let them
[Verse 8]
You just call (Out my name)
(And you know wherever I am)
I'll come runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
I'm comin' (To see you again)
[Verse 9]
(Winter, spring, summer, or fall)
(All you got to do is call)
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got a friend
[Verse 10]
(You've got a friend)
[Verse 11]
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got a friend, yes, you have
It feels pretty good to be home
Would you all sing you've got a friend for me?
(You've got a friend, we've got a friend)
This might be a record here (You've got a friend)
Yeah (You've got a friend)
Yeah
You've got a friend
