[Chorus] 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, love and treat her right [Verse 1] I mistreated my baby, and I can't see no reason why I mistreated my baby, but I can't see no reason why Every time I think about it, I just wring my hands and cry [Verse 2] Wonder could I to bear apologize, or would she sympathize with me? Mmm-mmm-mmm, would she sympathize with me? She's a brown-skin woman, just as sweet as a girlfriend can be [Fill] [Chorus] 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, love and treat her right [Outro]

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque l'importance d'avoir un bon ami qui reste toujours à nos côtés. Elle parle d’un homme qui exprime des regrets d'avoir mal traité une personne chère à son cœur, et il se demande si elle pourrait lui pardonner. Il se remémore à quel point elle est précieuse, à quel point son affection mérite d'être chérie et respectée. Le contexte ici semble être celui d’une réflexion personnelle sur les relations humaines. Ce récit souligne les erreurs que l’on peut commettre dans une amitié ou une relation amoureuse, tout en mettant en lumière la valeur de l'engagement et de la loyauté.
