I saw your face across the room Smiling as a sophomore in '72 And you were loved but you never knew Susan, you were losing life Faking fun with that plastic smile While deep inside, all you wanna do is cry Susan, you and I, we had a lot in common Always loved and always liked, but always tired from trying To impress the crowd, show the world your worth somehow You never want to let them down, so you hide away your heart Oh, Susan, Susan, Susan, will you let somebody in? You tried it all, basketball Couldn't help it if you just weren't tall Cheer and dance, you never stood a chance But Susan, you just held it in Surrounded by those half-way friends They'll never know you if you don't let them in Susan, you and I, we had a lot in common Always loved and always liked, but always tired from trying To be someone else, someone they can't live without Anyone beside yourself, so you hide away your heart So, Susan, Susan, oh, Susan, I will be your friend ♪ My little girl is aching for a friend She longs for just one soul to know her own So well, she never has to play pretend But can be herself as when she is alone Susan, I will be your friend
