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
 Everytime I think about it, I just wring my hands and cry
 Wonder could I bear apologize, or would she sympathize with me
 Mmmmmm mmmm mmmm, would she sympathize with me
 She's a brown skin woman, just as sweet as a girl friend can be
 Mmmm mmmm, babe, I may be right ay wrong
 Baby it's yo'y opinion, oh, I may be right ay wrong
 Watch your close friend, baby, then your ene'ies 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
