Win You Back Suzanne

The sunlight hits me and I shiver
I rub the sleep out of my eyes
Pull the mail box open
And hope to find a sweet surprise

I stumble back into the kitchen
I dump out last night's coffee grinds
I think the whole thing over
It's like a movie in my mind

Well, they tell me
I'm gonna have to carry on without her
But I'm afraid that ain't the way I got it planned

I'm gonna take a walk today
I'll go the old familiar way
I'll walk up to her and I'll say
I've come to win you back, Suzanne

The beauty of this life is changing
When pressed against the cold, hard facts
The fact is I got restless
And you say you ain't coming back

So hello, friendly next door neighbor
Hello bird up on the wire
The thought of her surrender
Spreads through me like a forest fire

Well, they tell me
I'm gonna have to carry on without her
But I'm afraid that ain't the way I got it planned

I'm gonna take a walk today
I'll go the old familiar way
I'll walk up to her and I'll say
I've come to win you back, Suzanne

How could you believe
That you could get away from me so easy?
What kind of man would let
The woman of his dreams just go away?

Well, you said I'd never change before
But when I knock upon the door
You'll see me, the change in me, babe
I'm on my knees, babe
Looking at you from across the way

See her diamond earrings sparkle
Hear the pounding in my chest
I wish I had a dollar
For every one of my regrets

In the distance he's approaching
The ghost of who I might have been
As I walk home alone
My memory's my only friend

Well, they tell me
I'm gonna have to carry on without her
But I'm afraid that ain't the way I got it planned

I'm gonna take a walk today
I'll go the old familiar way
And I'll walk up to her and I'll say
I've come to win you back, Suzanne

I've come to win you back, Suzanne
I've come to win you back, Suzanne
To win you back
I've come to win you back, oh, Suzanne
