Suzie was a doll but it didn't solve
All the mysteries
Hanging with the guys, making with the eyes
Playing hard to please
Back in '63, she was made for me
We were having fun
Wasn't long before I could not ignore
She's about hanging out
Campus queen dreams shattered years ago
And I'm the one who knows
It's the same country love song
Different words and different melodies
It's the same country love song
Mama said to me, 'John you got to be
Honest to yourself
Keeping up the pace, losing in the race
Further on the shelf'
I want to write a country song, telling of the wrong
Suzie did my heart
There is nothing more, it's all been said before
C'est la vie, mon cherie
Lady Luck, mean sexy so-and-so
And I'm the one who knows
