Susan
I saw your face across the room
Smiling as a sophomore in '72
And you were loved but you never knew
Susan, you were losing life
Faking fun with that plastic smile
While deep inside, all you wanna do is cry
Susan, you and I, we had a lot in common
Always loved and always liked, but always tired from trying
To impress the crowd, show the world your worth somehow
You never want to let them down, so you hide away your heart
Oh, Susan, Susan, Susan, will you let somebody in?
You tried it all, basketball
Couldn't help it if you just weren't tall
Cheer and dance, you never stood a chance
But Susan, you just held it in
Surrounded by those half-way friends
They'll never know you if you don't let them in
Susan, you and I, we had a lot in common
Always loved and always liked, but always tired from trying
To be someone else, someone they can't live without
Anyone beside yourself, so you hide away your heart
So, Susan, Susan, oh, Susan, I will be your friend
My little girl is aching for a friend
She longs for just one soul to know her own
So well, she never has to play pretend
But can be herself as when she is alone
Susan, I will be your friend
Smiling as a sophomore in '72
And you were loved but you never knew
Susan, you were losing life
Faking fun with that plastic smile
While deep inside, all you wanna do is cry
Susan, you and I, we had a lot in common
Always loved and always liked, but always tired from trying
To impress the crowd, show the world your worth somehow
You never want to let them down, so you hide away your heart
Oh, Susan, Susan, Susan, will you let somebody in?
You tried it all, basketball
Couldn't help it if you just weren't tall
Cheer and dance, you never stood a chance
But Susan, you just held it in
Surrounded by those half-way friends
They'll never know you if you don't let them in
Susan, you and I, we had a lot in common
Always loved and always liked, but always tired from trying
To be someone else, someone they can't live without
Anyone beside yourself, so you hide away your heart
So, Susan, Susan, oh, Susan, I will be your friend
My little girl is aching for a friend
She longs for just one soul to know her own
So well, she never has to play pretend
But can be herself as when she is alone
Susan, I will be your friend
