My friend

Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend

A helping hand you lend, in my time of need

Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend

Listen

Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend

A helping hand you lend, in my time of need

Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend

Whenever I'm down and all that's going on

Is really going on, just one of those days in joy

You say the right things

To keep me moving on

To keep me going strong

Whenever I'm down

Ain't nobody, body

Whenever I'm down and all that's going on

Is really going on, just one of those days in joy

You say the right things

To keep me moving on

To keep me going strong

Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend

A helping hand you lend, in my time of need

Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend

Whenever I'm down, I call on you

Whenever I'm down, I call
