Lyrics
Her eyes are like the ocean (oh)
Her nails are painted green (oh)
A cigarette in her mouth and she mouths
"Hey, dear, how you been?" (How you been?)
Grey skies out the window (oh)
But she's a summer breeze (oh)
Come and set the tone now, dear
Come sit down next to me, Suzanne (ooh)
Her hair hangs like curtains (ooh)
Her smile is warm like June (warm like June)
She blinks in slow motion
Just like someone in the Looney Tunes (Looney Tunes)
You can't tell if she's into you (ooh)
She's a winding road (winding road)
That I've been runnin' on down
Since I was seven years old, Suzanne
I would love to hold you if I can, oh (Suzanne, ooh)
If you'd allow my left arm and my right arm
To collide inside the small of your back
Just like that, how I need you, (Suzanne) Suzanne
Oh, Suzanne, how I need you
Oh, ooh, you look so good
This time gives way to the magic hour (oh)
Sunset at the bar (oh)
You put your left ear on my shoulder
And I wonder if that's just how you are (how you are)
I whisper to the waiter (oh)
"A glass of something strong" (oh)
"Suz, I'm about to finally tell you how I've been feelin' all along"
I said, Suzanne
Eyes are like the ocean (ocean)
Nails are painted green (painted green)
And I know this sounds like a line
But I swear you're the sweetest sight I've ever seen
But now I can't tell if you're into me (into me)
So I'ma say it out loud
The things I never say, the things I should've said
I could've, and I guess I'm tellin' you now
I would love to hold you if I can, Suzanne (Suzanne), ah-ah
If you'd allow my left arm and my right arm
To collide inside the small of your back
Just like that, I need you, Suzanne
Oh, Suzanne, how I need you
Oh-oh, ooh, you look so good tonight
And I want, and I want, and I want her (you look so good tonight)
