  • Well Bobby's out with Susie Q
    And Larry's here trying to down a few cold ones
    Just to get her off his mind
    He's drinking turkey like it's water
    If the bar had something stronger he'd be on it
    In the blink of an eye

    Then Susie Q walked in with that boy Bobby
    Holding her hand
    And some were scared to death and some held their breath but not a person there
    Didn't understand

    It's all about love
    One don't one does
    And that's just the way it is
    One heart's movin' on
    One heart's holdin strong
    And one's left on the fence
    Gonna be a Sunday morning first light
    Grapevine telling lies
    Face to face deny
    What happened on Saturday night

    Well Larry called the waitress over
    tipped her a twenty just to hold her
    and Susie caught it out of the corner of her eye
    She left Bobby there standin'
    At the table empty-handed as the band played "Why Lady Why"

    It's all about love
    One don't one does
    And that's just the way it is
    One heart's movin' on
    One heart's holdin strong
    And one's left on the fence
    Gonna be a Sunday morning first light
    Grapevine telling lies
    Face to face deny
    What happened on Saturday night

    Ol' Bobby's aim was true as he knocked out Larry's tooth
    And Susie Q startin cussin' Bobby out
    She told Larry that she loved him
    On the floor as she hugged him
    And the waitress bought Bobby a round

    She said

    It's all about love
    One don't one does
    And that's just the way it is
    One heart's movin' on
    One heart's holdin strong
    And one's left on the fence
    Gonna be a Sunday morning first light
    Grapevine telling lies
    Face to face deny
    What happened on Saturday

    Sunday morning first light
    Grapevine telling lies
    Face to face deny
    What happened on Saturday night Writer/s: BRIAN WAYNE DAVIS, JASON MICHAEL CARROLL, VICKY LYNN MCGEHEE
