"When You Got A Good Friend" lyrics

When you gotta good friend
Let her stay right by your side
When you gotta good friend
Let her stay right by your side
Give all your spare time to love
And treat her right

I'm as true to my baby
And I can't see no reason why
Lord, man, I can't see no reason why
Every time I think about it
I hang my head and cry

Lord, I may be right or wrong
Hey and I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friends, baby
Enemies can't do you no wrong

There ain't but one thing, baby
That makes me drink
Say that you don't love me, Lord
I begin to think

Gotta good friend
Let her stay right by your side
God, give her all your spare time
Love and treat her right

Lord, Lord, down at the riverside
Go on, go on down at the riverside
No, you won't be my old lady
Man, 'til I get satisfied

You know I may be right or wrong
Little girl, I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friends, baby
And your enemies can't do you no harm
