Donny Hathaway
You’ve Got a Friend (Live at The Bitter End, New York City, 1971)
[Intro]
Mhm
Little tune I had the pleasure recording with Ms. Roberta Flack
"You've Got a Friend," y'all
Mmm, doo-doo-doo-ooh
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-ooh

[Verse 1]
When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Mmm, close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
Everybody

[Chorus]
You just call out my name, call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You'vе got a friend
[Verse 2]
Now, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
Whеn people can be so cold? Yeah
They'll hurt you and desert you
Take your soul if you let them
Hey, hey, don't you let them

[Chorus]
You just call out my name
And you know — come on, y'all
I'll come running, running, running, running, running, running, running
To see you again, yeah, yeah
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Hey, all you've go to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah
You've got a friend
Mhm, yeah, you've got a friend, yes, you have, mhm

[Outro]
Somebody to stick by your side
Somebody you can call on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got a friend
