Susan wants to take me to a party over yonder Susan wants to take me to her heart
It´s a arm and tender place there, do you know Susan, I´ve been living here in this fortress And it´s filled with armor And sometimes celebrations lose their charm
Susan do you mind, sometimes I´m restless Rolling on the floor in pain and woe After all the precious gifts you will gladly give to me, girl I may blindly lock and bolt the door
Baby, sweet baby I´ll truly love you through my years Well it´s just that sometimes
by midnight light I´m frightened by my fears But if you could just hold me, warm me, girl The way you did today And tenderly anoint my eyes Then I may see the way Susan, baby, take me to that party ´Way over yonder
Tell me, Susan, do you mind Come on, Susan, take the time Tell me, Susan, do you mind If I´ve been blind a long time? I been blind a long time
Sometimes, see, if you´re not careful
A little hurt, pain in your heart Will make you blind Blind to the real thing, once it comes along Honey, can you wait, baby Can you wait for me, till I get this thing together? I been blind, I been blind, blind a long time Sweet Susan, take the time, girl
Susan, can you understand If I say I love you, baby Tell me, Susan, mama, do you mind? Girl, I been blind.
