Lyrics for When You Got A Good Friend
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. Any time I think about it I just wring my hands and cry. Wonder could I ever apologize Or would she sympathize with me? Would she sympathize with me? She's a brown-skin woman Just as sweet as a girlfriend can be. Babe, I may be right or wrong. Babe, it's your opinion Well, I may be right or wrong. 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 Love and treat her right.
