Buddy Holly
Richard Cheese Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Weezer)

What's with these homies dissin' my girl?
Why do they gotta front?
What did we ever do to these guys
That made them so violent?

Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours.
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine.
Woo-hoo, and that's for all of time.

[chorus]
Woo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly.
Oh-Oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore.
I don't care what they say about us anyway.
I don't care 'bout that.


Don't you ever fear, I'm always near. I know that you need help.
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit.
You need a guardian.

Woo-hoo, and you know I'm yours.
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine.
Woo-hoo, and that's for all of time.

[chorus]
I don't care 'bout that.

Bang! Bang! Knock on the door, another big bang, get down on the floor.
Oh No! What do we do?
Don't look now but I lost my shoe.
I can't run and I can't kick.
What's a matter babe, are you feelin' sick?
What's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter you?
What's a matter babe, are you feelin' blue?
Oh-oh-oh!

And that's for all of time. (x2)





[chorus]
I don't care 'bout that. (x3)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the Richard Cheese cover of the song Buddy Holly by Weezer is about a man defending his girlfriend against some friends who are constantly criticizing her. The guy is puzzled about why his friends are dissing the girl and why they have to be so violent. He declares his love for his girl, letting her know she's his forever, no matter what anyone else says. He assures her that he's always near to help and protect her because he understands she needs a guardian.


The chorus is about the guy looking like Buddy Holly (a legendary rock n roll star from the 1950s) and the girl resembling Mary Tyler Moore (a famous American actress). The guy is not bothered by what other people say about them and doesn't care about anyone's negative comments. The song ends with a scene of a knock on the door and chaos, and while the guy and the girl are on the floor, he asks her if she's okay and sings that he loves her forever.
