Butterfingers, butterfingers
Butterfingers, butterfingers
Well, butterfingers, butterfingers
That's what everybody calls me since I lost you
Well, a-butterfingers, butterfingers
Had you but I couldn't hold you
Just slipped through
Now I don't know what to do
Well a-butterfingers, butterfingers
That's the only name for me for lettin' you go
Well a-butterfingers, butterfingers
Never did I realize that I loved you so
It's all my fault, dear, I know
Well, I took your love for granted
I gave a little in return
And now that I'm without you
I'ma gonna learn how tears can burn
Well, butterfingers, butterfingers
That's what everybody calls me since I lost you
Well, butterfingers, butterfingers
Had you but I couldn't hold you
Just slipped through
Come back because I love you
Well, I took your love for granted
I gave a little in return
And now that I'm without you
I'm gonna learn how tears can burn
Butterfingers, butterfingers
That's what everybody calls me since I lost you
Well, a-butterfingers, butterfingers
Had you but I couldn't hold you
Just slipped through
Come back because I love you
Come back because I love you
(Butterfingers, butterfingers)
