When you got a good friend, that will stay right by your side
When you got a good friend, that will stay right by your side
Give her all of your spare time, love and treat her right
I mistreated my baby, and I can't see no reason why
I mistreated my baby
But I can't see no reason why
Every time I think about it, I just wring my hands and cry
Wonder could I to bear apologize, or would she sympathize with me?
Mmm-mmm-mmm, would she sympathize with me?
She's a brown-skin woman, just as sweet as a girlfriend can be
Mmm-mmm, babe, I may be right or wrong
Tell me your feeling oh, I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friend, baby, then your enemies can't do you no harm
When you got a good friend, that will stay right by your side
When you got a good friend, that will stay right by your side
Give her all of your spare time, love and treat her right
