Laugh with me, buddy, jest with me, buddy
Don't let her get the best of me, buddy
Don't ever let me start feelin' lonely
And if I ever needed you, buddy
You know how I really do, buddy
So don't ever let me start feelin' lonely
I cry at the least, little thing, buddy
And I'll die if you mention her name, buddy
Talk to me, buddy, stay with me, buddy
Let's don't let her get away of me, buddy
Don't ever let me start feelin' lonely
Let's talk about things as they were, buddy
Before I got mixed up with her, buddy
Laugh with me, buddy, jest with me, buddy
Let's don't let her get the best of me, buddy
And don't ever let me start feelin' lonely
