Whatever you wanted
Whatever you needed
Whatever you asked for
You received it

Whatever you borrowed
You tended to keep it
Whatever you told me
I believed it

And buffalo gal, don't you go out tonight
I'll do my best to keep you inside
Away from the rest of those looks that you get
From the boys who are passing you by, passing you by

I don't blame you for retreating
I couldn't sustain you
Or keep you from leaving

And I was a fool for ever thinking
I could change someone
Whose affections were so fleeting

So buffalo gal, don't you go out tonight
I'll do my best to keep you inside
Away from the rest of those looks that you get
From the boys who are passing you by, passing you by

Buffalo gal, don't you go out tonight
I'll do my best to keep you inside
Away from the rest of those looks that you get
From the boys who are waiting in line, waiting in line
