Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One night not long ago
I fell for you
Too easy to let go
[Verse 2]
She was one from your past
One of the few
You said it didn't last
[Verse 3]
Now Romeo you know I can't believe
Your tongue would slip so easily
I know you think I outta let it be
But get it right next time
That's the end of me
[Verse 4]
My name is not Susan
So watch what you say
And if you still need her
Then be on your way
Don't wanna hear about Susan
She got nothin' on me
So show some respect for the love you receive
My name is not Susan
No no no no
(Get it right)
[Verse 5]
Last night you were asleep
Deep in a dream
I heard you call her name
Then you turned to embrace
I froze in place
Never to be the same
[Verse 6]
Now Romeo you know I never knew
My heart would bust so easily
I know you think I outta let it go
But get it right next time
Say goodbye to me boy
[Verse 7]
My name is not Susan
(So watch what you say)
You better watch what you say, boy
(If you still need her)
(Then be on your way)
(Don't wanna think about Susan)
(She got nothin' on me)
(So show some respect for the love you receive)
[Verse 8]
My name is not Susan
(So watch what you say)
(If you still need her)
(Then be on your way)
Be on your merry little way
(Don't wanna hear about Susan)
(She got nothin' on me)
(So show some respect for the love you receive)
My name is not Susan
[Verse 9]
Oh, I never wanna be the girl that you call one and only
You know the kinda girl that you would call when you get lonely
I never should have let you in
A damn shame
Forgot my name
Well anyway
[Verse 10]
My name is not Susan
(So watch what you say)
(If you still need her)
(Then be on your way)
(Don't wanna hear about Susan)
(She got nothin' on me)
(So show some respect for the love you receive)
(My name is not Susan)
[Verse 11]
(Don't wanna hear about Susan)
No no no no
No no no no
(My name is not Susan)
(So watch what you say)
(If you still need her)
(Then be on your way)
(Don't wanna hear about Susan)
(She got nothin' on me)
(So show some respect for the love you receive)
[Verse 12]
(My name is not Susan)
(So watch what you say)
(If you still need her)
(Then be on your way)
(Don't wanna hear about Susan)
(She got nothin' on me)
(So show some respect for the love you receive)
(My name is not Susan)
So watch what you say
You better get it right
