Buddy's Advice

When you bumped into me on a crowded avenue
I knew I couldn’t let you slide
I knew that sooner or later I bet that you’d just keep on waiting on it
You’d run out of places to hide
Well, I’ve been waiting on you, yeah, for two long years
Counting on my buddy’s advice
Baby, you bumped into somebody who was quicker than me
So my buddy’s keeping you on ice
Um, baby
Well, I saw you at the laundromat the other day, baby
Washing somebody’s clothes
Oh, there must be some dirty business going on
'Cause I quit smelling like a rose
Well, I’ve been waiting on you, yeah, for two long years
Counting on my buddy’s advice
Baby, you bumped into somebody who was quicker than me
So my buddy’s keeping you on ice
Um, baby, come on now, kick it!
Well, you might think that I’ve got a hole in my head
Counting on my buddy so long
I’m gonna get me a forty-four to set things right
Just as long as I sing this song
