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 babe And I can't see no reason why I mistreated my babe And I can't see no reason why Oh every time I think about it I just hang my head and cry Wonder could I bear apologize Or would she sympathise with me Wonder could I bear apologize Or would she sympathise with me She's a brownskin woman Just as sweet as a girlfriend can be Babe it's your opinion Oh I may be right or wrong Oh it's your opinion Oh I may be right or wrong Watch your close friend baby Then your enemies can do you no harm
