Lyrics of Buddy Holly by Weezer
verse
What′s with these homies dissin' my girl?
Why do they gotta front?
What did we ever do to these guys
That made them so violent?
pre-chorus
(Woo-hoo) but you know I′m yours
(Woo-hoo) and I know you're mine
(Woo-hoo) and that's for all time
chorus
Ooh-wee-ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh, oh, and you′re Mary Tyler Moore
I don′t care what they say about us anyway
I don't care about that
verse
Don′t you ever fear, I'm always near
I know that you need help
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit
You need a guardian
pre-chorus
(Woo-hoo) and you know I′m yours
(Woo-hoo) and I know you're mine
(Woo-hoo) and that′s for all time
chorus
Ooh-wee-ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh, oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don′t care about that
I don′t care about that
bridge
Bang, bang, knocking on the door
Another big bang, get down on the floor
Oh, no, what do we do?
Don't look now, but I lost my shoe
I can′t run, and I can't kick
What′s the matter, babe, are you feeling sick?
What's the matter, what′s the matter, what's the matter, you?
What's the matter, babe, are you feeling blue? Oh, oh
verse
And that′s for all time
And that′s for all time
chorus
Ooh-wee-ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh, oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don′t care what they say about us anyway
I don't care about that
outro
I don′t care about that
I don't care about that
I don′t care about that
Writer(s): Rivers Cuomo
