You've got a Friend by James Taylor - Lyrics

(4 bars intro)

[Verse 1]

When you're down and troubled and you need some loving care

And nothing, no nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there

To brighten up even your darkest night.

[Chorus 1]

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 have to do is call

And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah

You've got a friend.

[Verse 2]

If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds

And that that old cold North wind should begin to blow,

Keep your head together and call my name out loud

Soon you'll hear me knocking right at your door

[Chorus 2]

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 have to do is call

And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Middle]

Now ain't it good to know that you've got a friend when people can be so cold.

They'll hurt you and desert you

And they'll take your soul if you let them

Oh, but don't you let them.

[Chorus 3]

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 have to do is call

And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah

You've got a friend.

[Outro]
