WHEN YOU GOT A GOOD FRIEND (TAKE 2)

Mmm, 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
        try to 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
Everytime I thinks about it
        I just wring my hands and cry
Wonder could I bear apologize
        or would she sympathize with me
Mmmmmmmmmmm
        or would she sympathize with me
She's a brownskin woman
        just a sweet as a girl friend can be
I love my baby
        but I can't make that agee
I love that woman
        but what can we can't agree
I really love that woman
        nnn, wonder why we can't agree
It's your opinion
        friend-girl, I may be right or wrong
It's yo'y opinion
        friend-girl, I may be right or wrong
But when you watch your close friend, baby
         then your enemies can't do you 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 of your spare time
        try to love and treat her right

Notes: 1. The underlined passages above are clearly nonsensical as
                performed and are probably the cause of the take not being
                issued originally.
    2. "Friend-girl" is an alternate for "girl-friend" and is still in
                frequent use today.
