Williams, Lucinda - Buttercup Lyrics

Now you want somebody to be your buttercup, Good luck finding your buttercup!   LOVE this woman

I don't think it's possible for her to write a bad song.

BLESS UP BUTTERCUP!!!!

I can listen to this song over and over--completely rocking

I first heard this a few hours before hearing of my cousins death, nothing relevant to the lyrics but it makes my heart drop every time.

That voice. I love it.

Doesn’t get any better

RiP John Kevin... Last song I heard before I got the call. Love ya

Blessed is a fantastic album - Love it

So many great songs

alot of living in that voice .. smoking tune ..

I love this song!

I f----ing love this song!  

Wan to have sex with her voice!

Dish shong wrocks.

Stellar tune!!!!!!!!

When I want to get tough I just listen to Lucinda, she kicks some a**. LOVE this woman!!!!!!!!!

wow, does that rock, lucinda when she has problems can knock anyone out with her music, damn, thanx for putting this on, lucinda is great

very cool...

just to let you know, the Toronto Sun, Dec. 31 had a page of songs recommended for new year's parties, and this is one of them. Love Lucinda, but this is the first time I have heard this song, and it is great. Happy new year!

A beautiful woman, a beautiful voice, a beautiful song.

Love this!

Keep It Up !!!! Stay #1

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I will be seeing Lucinda tomorrow night July 2
at the River Front Blues Festival in Portland Oregon. It will be a great show the festival is amazing. Hope to see you there

FANTASTIC SHIT!!! Lucinda is a torchbearer for those of us that are us. We love it. Cheers y'all!!!

"Blessed" - What can I say? A fucking great album!!

"Blessed" - What can I say? A fucking great album!!

I was at the Madison Saturday night and I thought she was awesome. Where will she be playing in July suzyb1016

We just saw Saturday Night at the Madison theater she rocked and her band was kicking some butt! She is coming back to Cincinnati area in July.

Just saw her in Louisville last night -- Friday. Great show. Her band was kickin' ass and the crowd loved her. Great performance!

her best...as good as the best Gospel LP currently out there.

Black Cat lounge, Austin Tx. circa 1986.....out back , picnic table - we shared a couple of longnecks....... been a fan ever since.

Lucky...

I love Lucinda's style and her writing. She and her band have a kind of Stones vibe going in some of their songs....

@alkcoholic I appreciate your openness. I do like this song, as many other of her songs, nut you made the ideal statement. We all don't like the same things, but we need not bash thw things we do not like!....just turn it off!

@Velourium What I love is feeling and soul and good music. Those are things that characterize lucinda williams. Your weird hypocritical retort is meaningless. It seems you are trying to argue with me by projecting your own crap onto me, so that you can argue against that. The thing is, I don't care what you think. You are just a tired hater running your mouth. You are the one talking shit, so you will need to justify your own talk. Enjoy that.

Really showcasing that speech impediment on this one. Awful, really... just awful.

Listened to my first song by Lucinda. Love her voice and her soulful, bluesy (?) lyrics, and especially her gravelly voice. For past posters, a lot of people didn't like The Beatles, The Stones, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, etc., etc., etc., but they were HUGE. Just don't listen idiots.

I dont know about you...but her voice has a bit of a bourbon slur to it. I like it. I can smell the Jack on the mic. Good stuff.

I heard a P.S.A. the other day,Public Service Announcement for those of you to which it applies since you probably wouldn't know what it stands for,which was a young girl firing insults at another little girl.The end of the announcement said "If you wouldn't say it to somebody's face,why would you post it on-line" That was aimed at adolescents,people! Maybe they should broadcast one aimed at adults.Some of you need "Correcting"! Grow up and act like civil adults.......if possible!

@OctoSnuffaluffagus lol so what credibility do you have to tell me this is a good song since you aren't a popular music star? What retarded logic. Not only is music just a hobby for me, but popularity as a measure of talent like you are implying is just stupid. You are basically detracting from your own love of this garbage because what you're implying is that Britney Spears is more talented than Lucinda Williams. Have fun with that. anyway its on my page. easy enough to find.

@Velourium Is your song a big hit yet? can you post a link to the video pls?

Awesome song! I think many of us can relate to what she's s conveying. some will put you though the wringer and use you, maybe even leave you waiting in the wings. Then when they're through actin a fool, they expect you to be their "buttercup". She's saying, good luck with that, cause i'm not gonna be your fool. Good blues with some wisdom many of us could or have already used.

I've never heard of Lucinda- a friend turned me on to her... i'm glad He did!

Gooluhfininyurbuhrcuh

@tynebar what are you talking about idiot? I can't stand the Mumford and Sons.. Butt-rock with a banjo. If you're going to stalk me, at least read a little bit.

@Velourium ~ you wouldn't know good music if it fucked you up the arse with a lubricated horsecock... and you like the Mumfords? Oh. Dear.

just heard this on pbr, what a wonderful song

Oh great. ANOTHER cd I HAVE to buy. This You Tube habit costs me money.....Lucinda still rocks. =)

she sounds like she has a mouthful of peanut butter

heard this today on cbc..love it and love her..the queen of cool lyrics and attitude and edge..if you dont love her then you cant be my friend

heard this today on cbc..fucking love this song and love her..she is the queen of cool

Another solid album from one of the greats!

once again you show every one why I say you are my queen! such heart and soul!

i think,Lucinda ,gets better and better.....so many artists go in the other direction

great guitar work on this .....Lucinda is a great songwriter

i was brought here because i heard this sick ass guitar lick over a conversation in the car and i wasn't paying attention to what people were saying to me because this song became so catchy that i was basically paralyzed. Then again, i was stoned. but even still..total mind blow

I sought this out on a recommendation, that's why I've listened. Just wanted to clear that up first.
That said, it's not for me - and the reason is Lucinda's vocal delivery. In that respect I agree with Velorium in as much as it sounds a little 'weird' if you're not used to it. What I don't agree with Velorioum about is that it 'sucks' or is a bad song purely because I don't care for the vocal.
The song itself is good, and the musicianship is great. Criticism for it's own sake is pretty vapid.

lucinda i love you, his name sums his IQ, did i mention i luv your music too!

I'm also going to try to write a song as good as Lucinda Williams:

Let's see, I'll need to talk about:
how men have wronged me
alcohol

Maybe I'll write better lyrics if I focus on those things. LOL

@MajorDooshbag lol thanks for viewing my page, stalker. I had a legit question. Does she have mouth cancer or some speech impediment issue, or does she just really suck and think it makes her sound edgy? Get so mad at a comment on youtube lol.

Lucinda is one of the best singer/songwriters around . . . . & she always has a great band with her . . . looking forweard to the new CD & to seeing her in NJ next month

I like this song, but Lucinda sounds like she's singing with a mouthful full of mashed-potatoes. However, this song is raw and gutsy.

Great song and great guitar work.

@tynebar I'm actually not an idiot. You just like bad music, someone called you out on it, and you got your panties in a twist.

imho, Lucinda is always at her best when she's telling someone wtf time it is

@velourium. Agreed. Fucking idiot.

@Velourium ~ you're a fucking idiot.

is she using that voice purposely or does she have mouth cancer or something?

Just heard it on a danish radio channel, and wanted to hear it again immediately. Thanks for uploading it. It's great music.

Can't wait for the record!

LUCINDA ROCKS !!!!!!! Great music...

"Good luck finding your buttercup." Lucinda continues to tell it like it is <3

Big lucy !!!

Just the best

Great tune - can't get enough of it - I also heard it for the first time on XM Outlaw Country

Awesome song. I find it one that could become a real classic and I don't know why but I also see it as a good song for some plays in the theatres. This song is one of the hits I describe as "a real one" :)

Great song. Had a hard time finding it on the net after hearing it on Outlaw Country.

♪ go and find your buttercup ♪♫

Heard this song today, love the guitar tone going on here. Great tune over all. Does anyone know who plays on this track? Is it Lucinda?

Love it !!!!!
