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 have apologized

Or would you sympathize with me?

Mmm, would she sympathize with me?

She's a brown skin woman

Just as sweet as a girlfriend can be

Mmm, 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

On and around your spare time

Love and treat her right
