When You Got a Good Friend

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, and I can't see no reason why

Any time I think about it, I just wring my hands and cry

Wonder, could I ever apologize or would you sympathize with me?

Would you sympathize with me?

She's a brown-skinned woman, just as sweet as a girlfriend can be

Babe, I may be right or wrong

Baby, it's your opinion, well, 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

When you're on your spare time, love and treat her right
