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 her,
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
Everytime I think about it(hoo)
I hang my head and cry
Lord, I may be right or wrong
Hey, I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friend, baby
And it 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
Give her all your spare time
Love and treat her right
Lord, down at the riverside
Go on down at the riverside
No, you won't be my old lady
Man, 'til I get satisfied Mmmmm
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
