Hello Buddy, I can see how you feel
You had all the love that passed me by
Hello Buddy, won't you bring me on in
Cut me all to pieces and get by

Hello Buddy, it's a shame and a sin
Making all that money on your own
Hello Buddy, don't you know you're a friend
Standing on the doorstep for an hour

Hello Buddy, just let me try to tell you why, why?
Hello Buddy, I didn't think you'd turn a blind. Ai!

Hello Buddy, well, my woman is gone
Left me, gone away without a word
Hello Buddy, don't you think it was wrong
Tell me, it's the worst thing that you've heard

Hello Buddy, just let me try to tell you why, why?
Hello Buddy, I didn't think you'd turn a blind. Ai!

Hello Buddy, just let me try to tell you why, why?
Hello Buddy, I didn't think you'd turn a blind. Ai!

Hello Buddy, I can see how you feel
You had all the love that passed me by
Hello Buddy, won't you bring me on in
Cut me all to pieces and get by

Hello Buddy...
