When
you've got a good friend
Have her stay right by your side
When you've got a good friend,
have her stay right by your side
You give her all your spare time
and you love an d treat her kind
I'm mistreated by baby,
I don't see no reason why
Oh baby, I don't
see no reason why
Every time I think about her,
I just wring my hands and cry
I go up and apologize,
oh, will she sympathize with me?
Hey baby, she sympathizes with me
She's my baby,
she's as sweet as a girlfriend
can be
Well, it ain't but one thing make me drink
I said, the way you treat me,
I begin to faint
Yeah, my life don't feel the same
You breakin' my heart
when you call me so -and -so's
Well, people, I may be right,
and I may be wrong
Oh, darlin', I may be right,
and I may be wrong
You keep a -watchin'
on your close friend
And the referee won't
do you no wrong
When you've got a good friend
Have her stay right by your side
Now you've got a good friend,
better keep her by your side
You give her all your spare time,
and you love an d treat her
kind
Thank you.
