Win You Back, Suzanne

The sunlight hits me and I shiver

I rub the sleep out of my eyes

I pull the mail box open

And hope to find a sweet surprise

I stumble back into the kitchen

I dump out last night's coffee grinds

I think the whole thing over

It's like a movie in my mind

Well they tell me

I'm gonna have to carry on without her

But I'm afraid that ain't the way I got it planned

I'm gonna take a walk today

I'll go the old familiar way

I'll walk up to her and I'll say,

"I've come to win you back Suzanne."

The beauty of this life is changing

When pressed against the cold, hard facts

The fact is I got restless

And you say you ain't coming back

So hello friendly next door neighbor

Hello bird up on the wire

The thought of her surrender

Spreads through me like a forest fire

Well they tell me

I'm gonna have to carry on without her

But I'm afraid that ain't the way I got it planned

I'm gonna take a walk today

I'll go the old familiar way

I'll walk up to her and I'll say,

"I've come to win you back Suzanne."

How could you believe that you could get away from me so easy

What kind of man would let the woman of his dreams just go away

You said I'd never change before but when I knock upon your door

You'll see babe, the change in me babe

I'm on my knees babe

Looking at you from across the way

See her diamond earrings sparkle

Hear the pounding in my chest

I wish I had a dollar

For every one of my regrets

In the distance he's approaching

The ghost of who I might have been

As I walk home alone my

Memory's my only friend

Well they tell me

I'm gonna have to carry on without her

But I'm afraid that ain't the way I got it planned

I'm gonna take a walk today

I'll go the old familiar way
