A helping hand you lend, in my time of need
Whenever I'm down, I call
To keep me moving on
To keep me going strong
Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend
Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend
Ain't nobody, body
Is really going on, just one of those days in joy
Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend
Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend
To keep me moving on
Listen
Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend
Listen
To keep me going strong
Ain't nobody, body
Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend
A helping hand you lend, in my time of need
Ain't nobody, body
A helping hand you lend, in my time of need
Whenever I'm down and all that's going on
Whenever I'm down, I call on you my friend
Is really going on, just one of those days in joy
Whenever I'm down, I call on you
Whenever I'm down
You say the right things
You say the right things
Whenever I'm down and all that's going on
Ain't nobody, body
