When You Got a Good Friend (Take 1)

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 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
Anytime I think about it
I just wring my hand and cry

Wonder could ol' baby apologize
Or would she 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
Maybe your opinion
Oh, I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friend, baby
Then your illin' 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 your spare time
Love and treat her right
