Through with Buzz Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He takes all my money
You know I'm through with Buzz
Yes, I'm through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh

[Verse 2]
He's not very funny
You know I'm through with Buzz
Yes, I'm through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh

[Bridge]
I remember when he stole my girl
Drug her all around the world
You know I'm cool, yes I feel alright
Except when I'm in my room and it's late at night

[Verse 3]
Maybe he's a fairy
You know I'm through with Buzz
Yes, I'm through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh, all right

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
