You've Got A Friend Lyrics - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

[Originally by Carole King] 

You've got a friend 

You've got a friend 

You've got a friend 

You've got a friend 

When you're down and troubled 

And you need a helping hand 

And nothing, 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 to see you again 

Winter, spring, summer, or fall 

All you got to do is call 

And I'll be there, yes I will 

You've got a friend 

If the sky above your 

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 

[repeat chorus] 

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 

They'll take your soul if you let them 

But don't you let them 

[repeat chorus] 

You've got a friend 

You've got a friend 

You've got a friend 

You've got a friend
