Peggy Sue (Buddy Holly cover) Lyrics

If you knew a-Peggy Sue
Then you'd know why I feel blue
My Peggy a-my Peggy Sue
Well I love you, girl, yes I love you, Peggy Sue

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Oh how my heart yearns for you
Oh Peggy--my Peggy Sue
Well I love you, girl, yes I love you, Peggy Sue

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Pretty pretty pretty pretty Peggy Sue
Oh Peggy a-my Peggy Sue
Well I love you, girl, and I need you, Peggy Sue

I love you, Peggy Sue
With a love so rare and true
Oh Peggy--my-my Peggy Sue
Well I love you, girl, and I want you, Peggy Sue

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Pretty pretty pretty pretty Peggy Sue
My Peggy a-my Peggy Sue
Well I love you, girl, and I want you, Peggy Sue
Well I love you, girl, and I want you, Peggy Sue
(Pretty pretty pretty pretty Peggy Sue)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This isn't the Beach Boys. It's Buddy Holly.

In response to the above: They recorded a cover of it on their 1978 "MIU" album.

Since the Beach Boys did the smart thing here and let Al Jardine sing lead and stuck very close to the late great Buddy Holly's brilliant original, this song is very very good, especially for the Beach Boys at this point in their career. It deservingly charted at #59, but I still recommend Holly's original from '57.
