you've got a friend

al green

when you're down an' troubled

you need some love an' care

an' nothin'

nothin' is goin' right

close your eyes an' think of me

an' soon i will be there

to brighten up even your darkest night

you just call out my name

an' you know wherever i am

i'll come runnin'

i wanna see you again

winter

spring

summer or fall

all you've got to do is call

and i'll be there

yes

i will

you know i'll be there

yes

i will

you've got a friend

you've got a friend

if the sky above you

grows dark an' full of clouds

an' that ol' north wind

that ol' north wind begins to blow

you just keep your head together

an' call my name out loud

yes

an' soon

very soon you'll hear me

knockin' on your door

yeah

i will

you just call out my name

and you know wherever i am

i'll come runnin' to see you again

winter

spring

summer or fall

all you've gotta do is call

an' i'll be there

yes

i will

you know i'll be there

yes

i will

ain't it good to know you've got a friend?

'coz people can be so cold

they'll hurt you and desert you

hell

they'll take your soul if you let them

no

don't you let them

no

you just call out my name

and you know wherever i am

i'll come runnin' to see you again

winter

spring

summer or fall

all you've got to do is call me

and i'll be there

yes

i will

yes

i will

you know i'll be there

yes

i will

you know i'll be there

yes

i will

you've got a friend

you've got a friend

you've got a friend

you've got a friend
