Buddy's Advice - The Paul Butterfield Blues Band

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
