There's a story I would like to tell My problem is Its one you know too well Its one you know too well Miss Suzy lee The one I'm speaking of The question is Is she the one I love? Is she the one I love? Alright Is she the one I love? Is she the one I love? She sent me flowers With her tears burned inside And you know what I'd do? I would run and hide I would run and hide And the paper On it was my name With the question Do you feel the same? Do you feel the same Alright To end this tale The one I'm speaking of I wish I had an answer but I just don't know Is this really love? Is this really love? Is this really love? Is this really love?
