Take your chance on something star
You got all the live long day
If I had to name one thing you think would ya
Be hard-pressed to say
You can say that I’m gushy
At least you know what I think
I know that I’m lucky,
I know you’re on the brink
You got it, good, good, good
You got it, good, so good
You make up ridiculous words
Which mean exactly nothing
I know just what you mean
And that’s the funny thing
It’s understood
It’s understood
Buddy, buddy, buddy
I know why you wander
Through the sweetness on the ground
And the sweetness of the flowers
You make your way
On a cloudy day
You’ve got to move
The world you prove
Is too sweet, yeah
We parted much too soon
I know, but that’s how it goes
There’s someone better out there for you and me.
Can’t wait to get on the road
And feel the shows and be like,
Phenomenon one and two and three
Now I don’t mean to brag and I don’t mean to boast but
I am the guy could that give you the most
It’s good, good, good,
It’s understood
Buddy, buddy, buddy
I know why you wander
Through the sweetness on the ground
And the sweetness of the flowers
You make your way
On a cloudy day
You’ve got to move
The world you prove
Is too sweet, yeah
