YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND ^ BILLY AND NIKKI ^

  LYRICS

When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

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 have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together now or call my name out loud
And soon I'll be knocking upon your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Don't you know that
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I'll be there

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you
Or they'll take your soul if you let them
Ah, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Don't you know that
Winter spring summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I'll be there
You've got a friend

You've got a friend

I. BIOGRAPHY

Any Collections : Buttons and Candy Wrappers like the colorful Wonka wrappers. The designs are very cute. I keep it in a jar.

Beauty Secret: Well for me,it doesn���t really matter how much make-up you put on or whatever you do, if you���re not beautiful inside, it will really show. I think it���s important to beautify your inner person before anything else. But drink lots of water and don���t forget to wash your face always before going to bed.

Describe your style : Girly, conservative but not too balot. I���m not really the jeans-and-sneakers type, but still laid back.

You like guys who are : In Love With God. Major turn-on. Funny, sweet and intelligent. Someone who can provide for me when we get married. I like guys who are like my dad. My dad is wonderful. I also like cute, tanned, Mexican-type of guys. Not chinito and mestizo.

Would rather avoid guys who are : Guys who are presko, and those who are super duwag. Those who won���t take a risk.

You hate it when : My alarm goes off in the morning. I travel from the South to Ateneo every day so I have to wake up really early. It���s the worst feeling.

You love it when : Classes are suspended. You get to stay home and eat and sleep.

In the future you are going to : I���ve always wanted to be a princess, but it���s impossible, I guess (laughs). I have many plans for myself , but you know how life operates, you never know in what direction it will take you. I also want to start my own business but on what I���m not so sure yet, but I definitely want to be my own boss.

Guiding Principle : Follow you goals but be sensitive to what you want. Enjoy life!

II. Career

When Nikki Gil appeared for the first time in the Coca-Cola commercial, many were immediately smitten by her sweet singing voice and very congenial personality. The commercial was instrumental to Gil���s ascent in show

business, and the jingle became a national anthem of sorts.

self-titled album, like ���Sakayan ng Jeep��� and ���Glowing Inside,��� have become easy listening tunes favored by

the young. Her star reaches bling-bling proportions as she, together with Singapore���s Alicia Pan and Malaysia���s Vince Chong, sings ���Breaking Free,��� one of the sound tracks of the Disney Channel���s original movie High School Musical.

Gil is a member of ABS-CBN���s elite circle of homegrown talents properly named Star Magic.

                                                  SHOWBIZ COUPLE

Actress-host Nikki Gil and boyfriend Billy Crawford

• Despite initial warning from well-meaning friends who thought their polar opposite personas made them a romantic mismatch, showbiz couple Billy Crawford and Nikki Gil���s relationship which blossomed when they co-hosted the second season of ���Pinoy Dream��� Academy is still stronger than ever.When he first met her on the set of the ABS-CBN
• When he first met her on the set of the ABS-CBN reality singing contest, Billy was immediately struck by Nikki���s Latina features. Noticing his interest, he revealed that his buddies, who knew too well his party-guy-and-switching-girlfriends-often lifestyle, told him point-blank that he was bad news for the goody-goody singer-actress. But knowing now what he would have missed, the R&B star is glad he didn���t heed their advice and followed his heart instead.
• ���At first, everybody was telling me to stay away from her because they said she was too good for me.But then, you know, your heart just plays tricks on you,��� Billy professed, with his lady love sitting just right beside him.
• ���You���ll never know until you try. And I���m really thankful that I did try and pursued her.���
• Nikki added that before they closely worked together, she has been always a fan of his music. As a MYX VJ she would introduce videos, and that���s what lead her to find out he was Filipino and used to be this    child actor.
• ���So it really wasn���t that hard to fall in love with him,��� she said.
• For her, she thinks their contrasting backgrounds are what cast the magic because she finds it exciting that he���s like that, while he finds it interesting that she is how she is.

Meanwhile, the singer boasted that her boyfriend ���has fine taste,��� referring to the diamond bracelet Crawford

 bought for her when he got back from the United States
