Sussudio
Phil Collins · A Hot Night in Paris [live]
All the time, Sussusudio oh oh
Now she don't even know my name
But I think she likes me just the same
Sussusudio oh oh
Oh if she called me I'd be there
I'd come running anywhere
She's all I need, all my life
I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussusudio, just say the word
Oh Sussusudio
Now I know that I'm too young
My love has just begun
Sussusudio oh oh
Ooh give me a chance, give me a sign
I'll show her anytime
Sussusudio oh oh
Ah, I've just got to have her, have her now
I've got to get closer but I don't know how
She makes me nervous and makes me scared
But I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussusdio just say the word
Oh Sussusudio, oh
Ah, she's all I need all of my life
I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussusudio I just say the word
Oh Sussusudio I just say the word
Oh Sussusudio I'll say the word
Sussusudio oh oh oh
Just say the word
Sussudio

As a staple of his live performances, the recording highlights his dynamic vocal delivery and intricate drumming, which became hallmarks of his solo catalog. The track reflects the era's shift toward more polished, stadium-ready productions while maintaining the raw power that characterized his earlier work. It remains a celebrated piece in his discography, often performed alongside other live staples like "In the Air Tonight" and "Another Day in Paradise," cementing his status as a pivotal figure in 1980s pop-rock.
