Suzanne
Lisa Stansfield · Lisa Stansfield [1997]
It's me and my mister, now I know I'm wrong
Cos' I hurt and I'm sore but
I can't help thinking about him so
I hurt and what's more
I don't think I can let him go
So won't you help me Suzanne
Help me try and understand
Won't you help me Suzanne
Cos' I've just got to say good-bye
Say good-bye to my man
Dear sister, I lay awake some nights
Thinking sound I risk a ...
Should I risk another fight
Cos' I hurt and I'm sore but
I can't help thinking about him so
I hurt and what's more
I don't think I can let him go
So won't you help me Suzanne
Help me try and understand
Won't you help me Suzanne
Cos' I've just got to say good-bye
Say good-bye to my man
Lately love's like lead it weights me down
I don't know if I'm safe and sound
My favourite colour's green not black and blue
There must be something you can do
So won't you help me Suzanne
Help me try and understand
Won't you help me Suzanne
Cos' I've just got to say good-bye
Say good-bye to my man
So won't you help me Suzanne
Help me try and understand
Won't you help me Suzanne
Cos' I've just got to say good-bye
Say good-bye to my man
