Blacked eyed Suzy
She works the corner out
On the block where she was raised
And I don't know how
But she finds some comfort
Up amongst the rubble
And the queen and lace, oh
But nobody seemed to notice
Her beauty wither away
Oh, black eyed suzy girl
How much more can you take

We were lovers back when we were younger
But we all know how that can go
It's like one day it's roses and the next it's over
And nobody ask 'cause ain't nobody want to know

Said they'll find a place far away
From this dirty heap
Oh, black eyed Suzy
She still losing ground to the heap

Well, now some may give into the wind
They'll take flight just to forget the pain
Ah, but Suzy she'e dug in too deep
She knows she's been beat

Oh, but still she stands around and waits
Oh, but see the season change
Will be bring a winter wind

Suzy she'll try to fight it
It won't be long before the cold embrace
Of a long November will decide it

What am I to do
Oh, what am I to say
I just watch from a distance
As Suzy withers away
