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
You gotta love her with your spare time, 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
Anytime i think about her, i just wring my hands and cry

Wonder could i bear apologize, or would she fix a fight with me, i wonder
Hmmmmmm, would the little girl fix a fight with me
She's a kindhearted woman, sweet as a girl friend can be

Hmmmmmm, baby, i may be right or wrong
Hmmmmmm, baby do you think, i may be right ay wrong
Watch your close friend, girl, then your enemies can't do you 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
You gotta give her all your spare time, love and treat her right
