[Intro]
I just can't beleive it, baby
You know, I can't believe it would go this far
I mean like last month when you said that you didn't love me anymore
I could have died...
I really thought it was just talk
Oh, I know about her and what she means to you
But, but what about our dreams and plans
I mean, all the plans we made together
And what about our little Suzie?
Have you stopped to think about her?
[Verse 1]
With pen in hand you signed your name
Today at five I'll be on that plane
And you'll be free and I will be alone
So alone
If you think we can't find all the love we once knew
If you think I can't make everything up to you
Then I'll be gone, oh then you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own
Can you take good care of Suzie?
Can you take her to school everyday?
And can you teach her how to play all the games
That little girls play, hear what I say
Can you teach her how to roll up her hair?
Can you make sure each and every night she says her prayers?
If you can do all these things then maybe
Maybe she won't miss me
Maybe she won't miss me
[Verse 2]
And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed
And you look at that pillow where I laid my head
And with your heart on fire
Oh, will you have no desire to kiss me or to hold me?
[?] the good times that we've had
And if you put all those good times
They just don't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name
Oh, then I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
[Outro]
Suzie: Are you coming with us?
Mom: No I can't come with you tonight, but I'll be here on the weekend, we'll have a good time then, ok?
Suzie: But mama, I don't understand
Mom: Well, it's hard to explain, things are different now, but, but I'll see you often
Suzie: But I'm scared mama!
Mom: Don't worry baby, everything will be alright. So you just go on with daddy
Suzie: Do you still love me mama?
Mom: Darling, mom will always love you
Suzie: Mama, don't leave
Mom: Well, I got to go...
Suzie: Please don't leave?
Mom: Oh, baby!
Suzie: Please don't leave?
