David Graff – Supposed To Fly

All songs written by David Graff (SOCAN)
 

Suzanne – 3:36

Suzanne, my plan is to teach you to love me

Treat you like gold in the way that you should be

Build you a house and live out in the country, Suzanne

I’ve got a job so you don’t have to worry

I’ll never drink and I’ll never get angry

What do you think about living that life Suzanne?

Don’t wonder if I’ll keep you happy

I’ve thought a lot about it, and I can

A girl like you is all that I need

To turn around and be a better man

Suzanne, Suzanne

Suzanne, I know you don’t think that I know you

It’s only three days since the first time I saw you

You don’t have to say anything but just give this a thought

I know that I might not look good on paper

And I’ve got some creases that I’ll explain later

But Suzanne, I’ll love you with all of the will that I’ve got

Don’t worry I won’t keep you happy

I’ve thought a lot about it, and I can

Someone like you is all that I need

To turn around and be a better man

Suzanne, Suzanne, Suzanne
