One night not long ago I fell for you Too easy to let go She was one from your past One of the few You said it didn't last Now Romeo you know I can't believe Your tongue would slip so easily I know you think I oughta let it be But get it right, next time That's the end of me [Chorus] My name is not Susan So watch what you say If you still need her Then be on your way Don't want to hear about Susan She's got nothin' on me So show some respect for the love you receive My name is not Susan (No, no, no, no, no, get it right) 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 Now Romeo you know I never knew My heart would bust so easily I know you think I oughta let it go But get it right next time Say good-bye to me boy [Chorus] I never want to be the girly that you "call" one and only You know the kind of girly that you would call when you get lonely I never should have let you in, A damn shame, forgot my name! Well, anyway [Chorus] Don't want to hear about Susan My name ain't Susan My name ain't Susan My name ain't Susan Ya better get it right!
