I mistreated my baby,
(But) I can't see no reason why.
Anytime I think about it,
I just wring my hands and cry.
Wonder, could I bear apologize,
Or would she sympathize with me.
Mmm,
or would she sympathize with me.
She's a brownskin woman,
Just as sweet as a girlfriend can be.
(I love my baby,
but I can't ---
I love that woman
But why can't we agree.
I really love that woman,
Once a while we can agree.)
Mmm, (---)
Baby I may be right or wrong.
Baby, it your opinion,
Ooh, I may be right or wrong.
(Well 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,
Love and treat her right.
