Susan's Song - Al Jarreau

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 blin

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
