'Only want a buddy, not a sweetheart
Buddies never make me blue
All sweethearts make vows that are broken
Broken a-like a-my heart breaks right in two

Don't tell a-me that you used to love me, say you like me
No this or that, I don't want no bungalow for two
Don't a-go down lovers lane, keep right on a-saying
I only want a-me a buddy, not a gal


I only want a buddy, I don't want no more sweethearts
You know, buddies never make ol' Killer blue
You know, them sweethearts make vows and they're breaken
And old Killer's heart is easily broken in two

Don't tell me that a-you love me, honey just can't you just say you like me?
I don't want no this or that, I don't want a-no bungalow for two
I ain't goin' down lovers lane, Jerry Lee's gon' stay the same
I only want a buddy,not a gal
Yeah, I only want a buddy, not a gal
