 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, try to love  and treat her right
 I mistreated my baby, I can't see no reason why
 I mistreated  my baby, I can't see no reason why
Every  time I thinks about it, I just wring  my hands and cry
 Would the good old baby apologise or would she sympathise with me?
 Would the good  old baby apologise or would she sympathise with me?
She's  a brownskin woman, just as sweet  as a girl friend can be
 I love my baby, but why can't we can't agree
 I love  my woman, but why can't we can't agree
I  really love that woman, wonder why  we can't agree
 It's your opinion friend-girl, that I may be right or wrong
 It's your opinion  friend-girl, that I may be right or wrong
But  when you watch your close friend, baby,  then your enemies
  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, try to love  and treat her right
