You've Got a Friend Lyrics
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
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
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
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
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
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
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
You've got a friend

im not sure who originally made this song, but It has the exact same guitar bit in the beginning as the ramones' 'blitzkrieg bop', and where he goes 'youve got a freind' joey ramone normally goes 'hey ho, lets go'... just pointing that out.
If I'm not mistaken, it was a James Taylor original. But I don't really know. I can't believe Me First did a cover for this. I mean, the voice of the vocalist of Me First's is different from the original one. Now that i know Me First has done a lot of covers from great songs, I want to buy their CD. Unfortunately, I think I am the only one who knows them in my country. Except for very few "music people". Oh yeah, please pardon my English.
