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
I call on you my friend
I call on you 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
I call on you my friend
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 (And ju-h)

You say the right things
To keep me moving on
To keep me going strong
Going strong
Going strong

Whenever I'm down

Ain't nobody
Body
Ain't nobody

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
I call on you my friend
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 (And ju-h)

You say the right things
To keep me moving on
To keep me going strong
Going strong
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
I call on you my friend
I call on you my friend

Whenever I'm down
I call on you...
Whenever I'm down
I call...

Ain't nobody

Ain't nobody
