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
Anytime 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 girlfriend can be

Baby 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
Oh give her all of your spare time, love and treat her right
