Nellie Mckay - My Buddy lyrics

You're something more than sunny And you're electrifying me I'm gonna love your money You got a style that sets me Is this the new temerity? I'm gonna mend you many I didn't know it could be nothing (Right!) How could I could know it'd come to nothing? (Right!) But what you say and what you give are to very different things, boy I didn't know it could be nothing (Right!) How could I could know it'd come to nothing? (Sight!) But what you say and what you give is no kind of way to live My buddy used to be someone who was striving endlessly Somebody who loved me and could never go wasting One who says that it's true or dies But my buddy has it made Everybody wants to be his slave Got so many hearts they ought to start a parade Singing nobody could ever replace... replace my buddy I don't mean to be frightened But you know we have history This is my life I'm betting Your floral face is fading Are you beside or far away? You say I get you, baby What did you say? My buddy used to be someone who was striving endlessly Somebody who loved me and could never go wasting One who says that it's true or dies But my buddy has it made Everybody wants to be his slave Got so many hearts they ought to start a parade Singing nobody could ever replace... replace my buddy You go You come You come You go There's no escape There's no control I look for warning signs But warning signs are on the [?] Another dream that bites that dust Another bee I cannot trust I should protest Just give in But I wanna be free-ee-ee I didn't know it could be nothing (Right!) How could I could know it'd come to nothing? (Right!) But what you say and what you give are to very different things, boy I didn't know it could be nothing (Right!) How could I could know it'd come to nothing? (Sight!) But what you say and what you give is no kind of way to live My buddy used to be someone who was striving endlessly Somebody who loved me and could never go wasting One who says that it's true or dies But my buddy has it made Everybody wants to be his slave Got so many hearts they ought to start a parade Singing nobody could ever replace... replace my buddy Buddy My buddy, my buddy, my buddy Your buddy Misses you
