If You Knew Suzi lyrics

(Chapman/Chinn)
Well you may not have his points of view
But as a matter of fact I think you're downright rude
To take some people apart the way you do
So here we are sitting in this retaurant
And I'm so tired of hearing about what you want
Or maybe you've forgotten just who you're talking to
Well for three long years I was waiting to hear
Just a few words from you that were vaguely sincere

(Ray Davies)
So tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody 'til I met you
But you keep a me waiting all of the time
What can I do
It's your life and you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep a me waiting
Please don't keep a me waiting
'Cos I'm so tired of waiting
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired
Tired of waiting

(Quatro/Tuckey)
Goodbye American dream
With your life insurance and pension schemes
Whoah
It's a lonely ride down golden highways
Hope is blind
But shoot for the skyways
Promises - turn to dust
And it's suicide
I'm a prisoner in 72nd Street
And it's suicide
I'm a prisoner in 72nd Street
Assembly line living machine
Mass production bought sight unseen
Whoah
Rule and regulation daze
Please the man

(Vanda/Young)
I got some money in my pocket
I got my car keys in my hand
I got myself a couple of tickets
To see a rockin' rollin' band
Come on girl just get on your shoes
We're gonna hear some sound
Come on babe you know there ain't no time
Don't mess around
Evie Evie Evie Evie let your hair hang downEvie Evie Evie Evie let your hair hang down

(Chapman/Chinn)
Go ahead and laugh at me, try to be the man you oughta be
Baby it's not hard to see what's going on
Well maybe we should celebrate, drink champagne, why should we wait
Why don't we ask some friends around, they can help us play this game we found
Let's bring everybody down
Will we ever be ready for what we're heading for
Here we stand like a couple of fools and the race is on

(Chapman/Chinn)
Well I've seen you before on that discotheque floor
You were driving me out of my mind
But I could have swore that I saw something more in your eyes
Although you were surrounded by beauty unbounded
Your glance was intended for me
And though I tried to hide it I found myself looking to see you
So then you took your chances, you made your advances
Your touch took my breath away

(Petty)
It's alright if you love me
It's alright if you don't
I'm not afraid of you running away
Only I get the feeling you won't
There's no use in pretending
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you
Is feeling like I do
We've said all there is to say
Baby breakdown
Go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown
Honey take me to the knife
Breakdown
Now I'm standing here can't you see

(Quatro/Tuckey)
Your mind is like a junkyard
All entangled like a web
You leave the wrecks of other people's lives
In a trail of tattered shreds
United Nations get-together
There's one of every kind
Of broken hearted, disappointed souls
All the waste you left behind
You're just a non citizen
Living in a city of fools
You're just a non citizen
Living in a city of fools
Oh excommunication

(Derringer)
Well, who's got you in a firm grip hold
It was a warm dry night in the old town hall
The group started grooving and laying it down
Don't you know I'm never gonna do that funky sound
Rock 'n' roll hootchie choo Rock 'n' roll hootchie choo
Go little mamma
Light my fuse
Rock 'n' roll hootchie choo Rock 'n' roll hootchie choo
You're going out and spread the news

(Quatro/Tuckey)
You messed my mind
Destroyed my soul
How was I to know about the power of love
You were wiser and older than me
How you touched my heart
Then you ripped it apart
You changed an innocent smile and girlish laughter into crying eyes over night
Good luck I hope you realise
What I gave to you
A virgin's love
A child of trust
Makin' love was something new
You found me so young

(Derringer)
