Mainly what I learned from Buddy, ... was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn't have any barriers to it.
Take your tongue out of my mouth, I'm kissing you good-bye.
I'm just a man, no more or no less. Bad as the worst, good as the best.
When I look at you girl, I see a true work of art. So many beautiful things coming in one little heart.
This world that I live in is empty and cold/the loneliness cuts me and tortures my soul.
It was all devastating. I'd never dealt with losing anyone close to me, and I didn't know where to put it in my life. I was very young then. Buddy taught me so much in such a short time.
I could have killed her when we first met and I've been out of jail by now.
The rock and roll spirit. I learned a lot of that because I worked with Buddy Holly. I played bass with him, and he taught me a lot about that.

If you see me getting smaller, I'm leaving, don't be grieving, just gotta get away from here. If you see me getting smaller, don't worry, and no hurry, I've got the right to disappear.

Now, I don't know how they judge all that, but if anybody in the world deserves to be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Ritchie Valens does.
This is getting funny, but there ain't nobody laughing.
He gave us all a mind to think with and to know what's right or wrong, he is that inner spirit that keeps us strong.
