I only want a buddy not a sweetheart
Buddies never make me blue
All sweethearts make vows that are broken
Broken like their hearts are broken too

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

I only want a buddy, I don't want no more sweethearts
You know, buddies never make old fella blue
You know, them sweethearts make vows and they're broken
And old fella's hearts are broken too

Don't tell me that you love me, say you like me
I don't want [?], I don't want no bungalow for two
I ain't goin' down lovers lane, Jerry Lee goes saying
I only want a buddy not a gal
I only want a buddy not a gal
