Weezer - Buddy Holly Lyrics

Verse 1-

Whats with these homies dissing my girl?
Why do they gotta front?
What did we ever do to these guys that made them so violent?
Chorus 1-

Oooo Oooo!
But ya know I’m yours,
Oooo Oooo!
And I know your mine.
Oooo Oooo!
And that’s why-i-i-i!
Chorus 2-

Ooo wee ooo, 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 2-

Don’t you ever fear, I’m always there,
I know that you need help.
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit,
You need a Guardian.

Oooo Oooo!
And you know I’m yours,
Oooo Oooo!
And I know your mine.
Oooo Oooo!
And that’s why-i-i-i!

Ooo wee ooo, 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 bang 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. Wussa matta babe? Are you feeling sick?
Wussa matta wussa matta wussa matta you?
Wussa matta babe? Are you feeling blue! Oh-ohhhh.
Chorus 2-

Ooo wee ooo, I look just like Buddy Holly,
Oh oh, and you’re Mary Tyler Moore.

I don’t care about that.
I don’t care about that.
I don’t care about that.
I don’t care about that.
