When You Get a Good Friend
 

When you got a good friend : have her stay right by your side
Give her all of your spare time : love and treat her right

I mistreated my baby : [but, and] 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 will she fisty‑fight with me
She's a brownskin woman : just as sweet as a girl friend can be

Baby *do you think it mmm* : oh I may be right or wrong
Got you a close friend baby : then your enemies can't do you no harm
