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

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
