Splinter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
Mmm-mmm, babe, I may be right or wrong
Tell me your feeling oh, I may be right or wrong
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
The song "Friend" by Splinter is a beautiful tribute to the power of good friendships. The first verse emphasizes the importance of having a friend who will stand by you through thick and thin. The repetition of the line "When you got a good friend, that will stay right by your side" drives home the message of the song. The second line "Give her all of your spare time, love and treat her right" underscores the importance of making time for your friends and treating them with love and respect.
The second verse of the song takes a darker turn as the singer reflects on mistreating his own partner. He can't see any reason for his actions and is left wringing his hands and crying when he thinks about what he's done. The singer wonders if his partner would forgive him if he apologized or if she would have sympathy for him. The final line of the verse shifts the focus from the singer to his partner as he describes her as a sweet, brown-skinned woman.
The final verse returns to the central message of the song, encouraging the listener to cherish their good friends and watch out for enemies. The line "Watch your close friend, baby, then your enemies can't do you no harm" is a reminder that good friendships can serve as a source of protection and support.
Overall, "Friend" is a heartfelt and reflective song that encourages listeners to value and nurture their friendships.
