Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweet Sue
Things you making me do
Sweet sweet Sue
Can't get enough of you
Sweet Sue
We're not gonna be true
Sweet sweet Sue
Why you're leaving me blue

Know a little girl like that
Sgonna break my heart
Sgonna leave me sad
Held her in my arms tonight

Sweet life
Take me by the hand
Sweet sweet life
Make me understand
Sweet life
Lay me on the ground
Sweet sweet life
It's where I'm gonna be found

Know a little girl like that
Sgonna break my heart
Sgonna leave me sad
Held her in my arms tonight

Know a little girl like that
Sgonna break my heart
Sgonna leave me sad
Held her in my arms
Know a little girl like that
Sgonna break my heart




Sgonna leave me sad
Held her in my arms tonight
