Black Eyed Suzy she works the corner out on the block on which she was raised and I don't how but she finds some comfort up amongst the rubble and the Queen Ann's Lace 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 asks cause ain't nobody wants to know as soon as find a place far away from this dirty heap oh Black Eyed Suzy she's still losing ground to the heat well now some may give into the wind they'll take a flight just to forget the pain ah but Suzy she's dug in too deep she knows she's been beat but still she stands around and waits ah but as soon the season change it will bring the 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 ah what am I to say I just watched from a distance as Suzy withers away
