Lonsome Suzie Lyrics - Blood Sweat & Tears

(Richard Manuel) 

Lonesome Susie 

Never got the breaks 

She's always losing 

So she sits and cries and shakes 

It's so hard just to watch her 

And if I touch her, 

Oh poor Susie 

I'm wondrin' what to do 

She just sits there, hoping for a friend 

I don't fit here, but I may have a friend to lend 

Maybe I mistook her 

But I can't overlook her 

Must be someone 

Who can pull her through. 

Anyone who felt that bad 

Could tell me what to say 

Even if she'd just get mad 

She might be better off that way 

And where is all the understanding 

I know your problem 

Can't be that demanding 

Why is it she looks that way 

Ev'ry time ev'ry time she starts to cry 

Oh lonesome Susie 

I can't watch you crying no longer 

Baby if you can use me 

'n-till you fill just a little bit Stronger, baby 

I guess just watching you 

Has made me lonesome too 

Why don't we get together 

What else can we do?
