She Don’t Love You, Buddy

 

Wouldn’t it be lovely if she told you it was over

If she called you and she told you that you could come home

Wouldn’t it be lovely, Buddy, wouldn’t it be lovely

But you know the odds of that are only slim and none

(You know the odds of that are only slim and none)

 

Wouldn’t it be lovely if she loved you like she used to

If she loved you like she used to just a month ago

Wouldn’t it be lovely, Buddy, wouldn’t it be lovely

But you’re sleeping in a pickup and you can’t go home

(You’re sleeping in a pickup and you can’t go home)

 

‘Cause she don’t love you, she don’t love you

She don’t love you, Buddy, anymore

She don’t love you, she don’t love you

She don’t love you, Buddy, anymore

That girl don’t love that boy no more

No more, no more, no more, no more

 

Wouldn’t it be lovely if you woke up to her snoring

If you woke up to her stirring in the breaking dawn

Wouldn’t it be lovely, Buddy, wouldn’t it be lovely

But the only thing that’s breaking lately is your heart

(The only thing that’s breaking is the poor boy’s heart)

 

‘Cause she don’t love you, she don’t love you

She don’t love you, Buddy, anymore

She don’t love you, she don’t love you

She don’t love you, Buddy, anymore

That girl don’t love that boy no more

No more, no more, no more, no more

 

Wouldn’t it be lovely if she dumped the other fella

If she dumped the other fella like she dumped on you

Wouldn’t it be lovely, Buddy, wouldn’t it be lovely

Yeah, I know just how you’re feeling ‘cause she dumped me, too

(Oh boy, that girl, she dumped him too)

 

Yeah, she don’t love you, she don’t love you

She don’t love you, Buddy, anymore

She don’t love you, she don’t love you

She don’t love you, Buddy, anymore

That girl don’t love that boy no more

No more, no more, no more, no more

 

That girl don’t love that boy no more, not him, not me, not either or

NOTES ON THIS SONG
Patty, Jenny and Dawn do the backup vocals for this song and they are what make this song so special and so charming. I refrain from using their last names out of respect for their privacy, but I would gladly publish them if that’s what they want. I love to play this song, to sing this song, and to listen to this song. Getting dumped hurts, but this song says, “Get over it, you big baby! Get on with your life.” Buddy Holly is the Buddy reference, as a tribute to one of the best.
