Brooke White - You've Got A Friend Lyrics

When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
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 whereever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you got to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, aint it good to know that youve got a friend?
People can be so cold.
Theyll hurt you and desert you.
Well theyll take your soul if you let them.
But dont you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
Ill come running running yeah yeah
Youve got a friend.
