I. Buddy Wayne Knox (July 20, 1933 - February 14, 1999) was an American singer and songwriter best known for his 1957 rockabilly hit song, "Party Doll".
Knox was born in the tiny farming community of Happy, Texas and as a boy learned to play the guitar. In his teens, he and some high school friends formed a band called the "Rhythm Orchids." After performing on the same 1956 radio show as fellow Texan Roy Orbison and his "Teen Kings" band, Orbison suggested Knox go see record producer Norman Petty at his studio in Clovis, New Mexico.
Knox recorded three songs at Petty's studio, most notably "Party Doll" that later was released on the Roulette label and went to No.1 on the Cash Box magazine music chart in 1957. This success was followed by "Rock Your Little Baby To Sleep", a top 20 hit, and "Hula Love", a top 10 hit. While he never achieved the same level of artistic success, Buddy Knox enjoyed a long career in music. For his pioneering contribution, Knox was elected to the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. "Party Doll" was voted one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
In May 1969, Buddy Knox appeared at Langley Speedway (British Columbia) in Langley, British Columbia, Canada and assisted in handing out trophies to the race winners.
A lifelong user of cigarettes, Buddy Knox died of lung cancer in 1999 in Bremerton, Washington. He is interred in Dreamland Cemetery, in Canyon, Texas.

I Think I'm Gonna Kill Myself
Buddy Knox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you leave me, I'll go crazy
'Cause I love you, love you
Oh, I love you too much
If you quit me, I'll go crazy
If you forget me, I'll go crazy
'Cause I love you, love you
You've got to live for yourself
Yourself and nobody else
You've got to live for yourself
Yourself and nobody else
The lyrics of Buddy Knox's song I Think I'm Gonna Kill Myself primarily revolve around the singer's unhealthy love for someone to the extent that they cannot bear to imagine being without them. The opening lines, "If you leave me, I'll go crazy / If you leave me, I'll go crazy / 'Cause I love you, love you / Oh, I love you too much," show how the person's existence becomes entirely dependent on their partner's presence. Their love is all-consuming, and they cannot fathom a life without them.
The following lines, "If you quit me, I'll go crazy / If you forget me, I'll go crazy / 'Cause I love you, love you / Oh, I love you too much," reinforce this idea that their love is so intense that even the thought of being forgotten or left is almost unbearable. The singer is so wrapped up in their love for their partner that they feel like they could never move on if they were to leave.
The chorus, "You've got to live for yourself / Yourself and nobody else / You've got to live for yourself / Yourself and nobody else," is a sudden shift in perspective. It serves as advice for the singer to start living for themselves rather than making their entire existence revolve around their love for someone else. It's a reminder that the person's life must not be entirely dependent on their relationship, and they need to find a sense of self-worth outside of the relationship.
Overall, I Think I'm Gonna Kill Myself is a song about the dangers of becoming too consumed by love, and how it can lead to a loss of individuality and emotional stability. While the song's title may suggest a more drastic ending, it's about the singer questioning their mental state due to an all-consuming love that could ultimately lead them to despair.
