I went down to get a burrito, but the woman said she had no beef
I said that’s really too bad, but she offered me a drink instead
I didn’t know it then, but now I got me a lifelong friend
She always says just what she feels, we go riding in her automobile
Susan I’ve been thinking about you tonight
Got a house on Fourth Avenue, fireplace, great neighbors too
Got a pool right across the street, we go there when we get tired feet
Sleep on a double bed, blue sheets and a dog named Fred
An old pillow to rest my head, I lay thinking about my friend
Susan I’ve been thinking about you tonight
I’ve been breaking down for missing you
I hope out love will see us through
These circumstances that separate us now
I’m trying, I’m crying
Susan I’ve been thinking about you tonight
