I Only Want a Buddy Not a Sweetheart

(G) I only want a buddy not a (A) sweetheart
(D) Buddies never make you (G) blue
(C) Sweethearts they make vows that are (G) broken
(A7) Broken like their hearts are broken (D7) too
Don't (G) tell me that you love say you (A7) like me
No (D) lover's quarrel, no bungalow for (B7) two
Don't (E7) turn down lover's lane
just (A7) keep right on saying
I (D) only want a buddy not a (G) gal

What is romance but (D) taking a chance
I'm always feeling (G) blue
I sit and pine while (D) I am all alone
That's why I'm saying to (G) you

(G) I only want a buddy not a (A) sweetheart
(D) Buddies never make you (G) blue
(C) Sweethearts they make vows that are (G) broken
(A7) Broken like their hearts are broken (D7) too
Don't (G) tell me that you love say you (A7) like me
No (D) lover's quarrel, no bungalow for (B7) two
Don't (E7) turn down lover's lane
just (A7) keep right on saying
I (D) only want a buddy not a (G) gal
