Lyrics:

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
Everytime I think about it
I just wring my hands and cry
Wonder could I bear apologize

or would she sympathize with me
Mmmmm mmm mmm
would she sympathize with me
She's a brownskin woman
just as sweet as a girlfriend can be
Mmmm mmm

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 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-aah
love and treat her right
