Lyrics:

When you got a good friend, that will stay right by your side (2x)Give her all of your spare time, try to love and treat her rightI mistreated my baby, but I cant see no reason why (2x)Anytime I think about it, I just wring my hands and cryWonder, could I bear apologize, or would she sympathize with meMmm, or would she sympathize with meShe's a brownskin woman, just as sweet as a girlfriend can beMmm, baby I may be right or wrongBaby, it your opinion, I may be right or wrongWatch your close friend, baby, then you enemies can't do you no harmWhen you got a good friend that will stay right by your side (2x)Give her all of your spare time, love and treat her right
