Billy Preston
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 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 would you sympathize with me?
Hmmm... 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, and your enemies can't do 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
