Susie got a job in a London scene

it sure was rough

it sure was mean

the boss is a man

it's plain to see

he's in every hustle there could be.

Susie ran around night and day

living fast anf gambling away

foolin' herself with a millionaire

she thinks it's love

but he don't care.



Diamonds rings

stars in her eyes

but one of these days she'll be surprised

it's tougher than you think in the city

you better slip away

yeh.



You better slip away

Susie

You better slip away

Susie

You better slip away

Susie -

slip away

Susie.



Now Susie really thought she had it made

all first class expenses paid

pink champagne and caviar

a colour TV in the back of her car.

Diamonds rings

stars in her eyes

but one of these days she'll be surprised

it's tougher than you think in the city

you better slip away

yeh.



You better slip away

Susie

...



Susie had a heart - a heart of gold

but she's been hurt now it's stone

stone cold

wasted tears and wasted years

just painful scars for souvenirs.



It sure is rough

it sure is mean

it's the meanest place you've ever seen

it's tougher than you think in the city

you'd better slip away

yeh.



You better slip away

Susie
