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,
Everytime I think about it, I just wring my hands and cry.
Wonder could I bear apologize, or would she sympathize with me,
Would she sympathize with me,
She's a brown skin woman, just as sweet as a girl friend can be.
Babe, I may be right or wrong,
Baby it's your opinion, oh, I may be right or wrong,
Watch your close friend, Baby, then your enemies can't do 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.
