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
