About Susan

"Susan" is a song by The Buckinghams, which they released as a single in 1967, and on their album Portraits in 1968. The song spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 11, while reaching No. 7 on Canada's RPM 100, No. 2 on Canada's CHUM Hit Parade, No. 2 in the Philippines, and No. 18 on New Zealand's NZ Listener chart. The song contains a short excerpt of Charles Ives' composition, Central Park in the Dark, which contrasts sharply with the sunshine pop flavor of the majority of the song. The section containing this excerpt was added by producer James William Guercio, and the group disliked this addition after they heard it. This section was edited out by many radio stations that played the song.

Susan
The Buckinghams
(Holvay/Beisbier/Guercio)

        Susan,    looks like I am losin'
        I'm losin' my mind  (losin' my mind)
        I'm wastin' my time

        Susan do you have to be confusin'
        I ask myself why you're sayin' goodbye

        No other girl could ever take the place of you
        Though you're hurtin' me 
        You know I'll always be thinkin' of you
        Girl I always love you

        Love love love love...
        I love you, yes I do, I do      (2x)

        Susan     I love you
