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?

Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours.
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine.
Woo-hoo, and that's for all of time.

[chorus]
Woo-ee-oo, 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 'bout that.


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.

Woo-hoo, and you know I'm yours.
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine.
Woo-hoo, and that's for all of time.

[chorus]
I don't care 'bout that.

Bang! Bang! Knock 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 a matter babe, are you feelin' sick?
What's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter you?
What's a matter babe, are you feelin' blue?
Oh-oh-oh!

And that's for all of time. (x2)

[chorus]
I don't care 'bout that. (x3)

   〈 Buddy Holly〉這首歌是美國搖滾團體Weezer在1994年發行的第一張專輯裡的第二首單曲,由他們的主唱兼吉他手Rivers Cuomo所寫。這首曲子在Buddy Holly58歲生日發行。歌詞參照了歌詞中的主角及女星Mary Tyler Moore。Rivers Cuomo在他其中之一的部落格回憶起有關這首歌的種種,他幾乎把它放在最後錄音名單之外,但製作人Ric Ocasek鼓勵他把它放進專輯來。在《River's Edge》這本書中,Ocasek回憶說:「我記得他在歌曲的某一點上開始遲疑了,我喜歡這首歌,我說『你應該把他完成,就算不要用這首歌,你應該還是要寫完它,而且你已經寫了,它是一首好歌』。」Cuomo認為這首歌太漂亮,他不知道應不應該把它放在團裡的歌曲裡。Matt Sharp回憶說:「Ric認為我們把這首歌放在專輯的名單之外是很愚蠢的,當我們早上到錄音室錄音,下午看到一張紙條寫著〞我們要Buddy Holly〝。」Cuomo開始開心的演唱這首歌,最後證明這首歌是他們團裡最成功的一首歌了。但最初的版本不是這樣的,歌詞有稍稍修改,曲調的節奏也比較慢,在Cuomo2007年所出的專輯《Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo
》可以聽到原始版本。
