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
Tell me yo'y opinion, oh, I may be right ay wrong
Watch your close friend, baby,
then your enemies can't do no harm
