Buddy X

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Call yourself a family man talkin' 'about the family's plans. To bring the sweet talk deep and down works better than an average pickup line. You put your woman out to pasture on the promises you gave her last year. Peace and love is all in your head and the grass is greener playin' 'round. Your fam'ly seed is what you spread. Buddy, my friend, who do you think you're foolin'? Buddy, my friend, and what about your woman? Buddy my friend, who do you think you're foolin', buddy? Buddy, my friend. I don't care what you do, but there's a hypocrite that lives in you 'cause if your woman gave her love in the same way that you do you'd feel away. You know you would. Buddy, my friend, who do you think you're foolin'? Buddy, my friend, and what about your woman? Buddy my friend, who do you think you're foolin', buddy? Buddy, my friend. Buddy, my friend. Buddy my friend. Buddy my Buddy my friend. Buddy my friend.
