"Black Eyed Susie"

Black Eyed Susie,
Is a flower to you,
The one I know,
Is a victim of senseless truth,
Trapped between a rock,
And a very hard place,
Tell-tale signs,
Always on her face,
"Oh, I ran into the door,
And slipped and fell to the floor."
Oh, Susie can`t you hear me?
Won`t you listen to me?
You`re better off without him,
Baby can`t you see?
There`s so much more to life,
Than being a battered wife.
Heavy mascara,
Sunglasses on inside,
Black Eyed Susie,
Has more bruises to hide,
She wears turtlenecks,
Even when it`s warm,
Always long sleeves,
To hide the marks on her arm,
When will she say that`s enough,
Walk out on him and prove it`s no bluff.
Oh, Susie can`t you hear me?
Won`t you listen to me?
You`re better off without him,
Baby can`t you see?
There`s so much more to life,
Than being a battered wife.
Leaving him you know,
Is her best cure.
Why she stays with him,
God knows,and even He ain`t sure,
If true love is made of,
Harsh words and sharp blows,
Then she has to be happy,
With the one that she chose,
Why does she take the abuse?
Does she think there`s no use?
So she left him for good,
And filed a P.F.A.,
But you know that piece of paper,
Wouldn`t keep him away,
He tracked her down,
Gonna give her more,
But she was fed up,
Gonna even the score,
Shots rang out,
About a quarter til 3,
It was finally over,
Black Eyed Susie was free,
I`m glad she borrowed that gun,
They say she had to do,
What she`d done.
Yeah, Black Eyed Susie was free,
Once again a flower to me,
Black Eyed Susie was free,
Once again a flower to me.
