I only want a buddy not a sweetheart.
Buddies never make you blue.
Sweethearts make vows and they're broken;
Broken like their hearts are broken too.
Don't tell me that you love me, say you like me.
No lovers quarrels, no bungalow for two.
Don't turn down lovers lane, just keep right on a saying
I only want a buddy not a gal. What is romance, but taking a chance,
gambling with misery.
I was a fool, but just like in school,
I've learned my lesson you see. (Repeat chorus)
