Lyrics
DEAR SUZI
Dear Suzi what is happening to us
It?s just not fair
Dear Suzi you know we?ve got so much
Yet so little to share
But we won?t give in
We can?t throw it away
We use so many words
With nothing to say
We?ll keep on trying (trying)
To end the crying (crying)
To stop the lying (lying)
And fall in love again
We?ll keep denying (denying)
What they?re implying (implying)
Cos we?ll be dying (dying)
To fall in love again
Some day, far away
Dear Suzi one more week until I?m free
So here?s the plan
Dear Suzi this is how it needs to be
I know you?ll understand
We?ll steal across the border
On the midnight train
We?ll have no money
But we?ll be together again
