From the moment I saw your face I knew I could never take living for granted I froze right in my place, as I became aware of the ground on which my feet were planted
And as your eyes were focused on the alphabet in your video screen I stood there and stared in disbelief
I was speaking to you with my voice You were speaking to me by choosing letters with your eyebrow You didn’t have no choice And yet you had an attitude like that’s just the way that it goes now
I started talking to you about the fish swimming in your aquarium But all the while I wanted to take away your pain
Susan I owe you an apology Susan I owe you an apology For all the days I just let slide right through my hands You are the woman with the strength of 10,00 men
From the moment I saw your face I knew all my so-called troubles were nothing You put me in my place I knew right then I better start living for something
There ain’t nobody alive that can keep your spirit down No one can keep you from changing what just ain’t fair
Susan I owe you an apology Susan I owe you an apology For all the days I just let slide right through my hands You are the woman with the strength of 10,000 men
And the words come ticking out and the words bring us together And the words come ticking out and the words must keep you sane
Susan I owe you an apology Susan I owe you an apology For all the days I just let slide right through my hands You are the woman with the strength of 10,00 men
An oldie, but goodie. Pretty great sound for just 2 people.
You heard that we were great
But now you think we’re lame
Since you saw the show last night
You hoped that we would rock
And knock it up a notch
Rockin’ was nowhere in sight
And it’s never good when it goes bad
No one likes to feel like they’ve been had
And it may be okay
But you won’t wear our t-shirts now
Not anymore
First the band looked wired
Then the band looked tired
Sluggish and a little slow
He’s walking through the set
As drunk as he could get
And what the hell was wrong with Joe?
And you could tell the crowd was fading fast
Every song we played looser than the last
And it may be okay
But you won’t wear our t-shirts now
All the kids, they hold a grudge
Their minds are logged on to the net and
All the kids, they hold a grudge
You fail them and they won’t forget it
All the kids are tired and turn away
They saw what you did
You’re all wrong and all the kids are right
You heard that we were great
But now you know we’re lame
Since you saw the show last night
You hoped that we would rock
And wished that we’d just stop
And finally we said goodnight
When we had returned for the encore
You and half the room had headed for the door
No one wanted more
All the kids, they hold a grudge
Their minds are logged on to the net and
All the kids, they hold a grudge
You fail them and they won’t forget it
All the kids, they’re tired and turn away
All the kids they hold a grudge
Their minds are logged on to the net and
All the kids they hold a grudge
You fail them and they won’t forget it
All your cred won’t save you from the kids
They saw what you did
You’re all wrong and all the kids are right

The Kay Hanley (from Letters to Cleo) version isn’t too bad, either
You never write
You never call
You just stand around and smile so happily
Look, I’m a man. You never knew. There’s worser things that you have done to me.
Well I should cry
but I’ve done too much already I can’t lie
cause you’re better then, than I’ll ever be
and that won’t take us back to you and me
being all alone.
You call me names
and you’re never home
all I’ve got to show is a kiss and drum
You talk too much
but not to me
there’s too much of this love I’ve never seen
but I should cry
but I’ve done too much already
I can’t lie
cause you’re better then, than I’ll ever be
and it won’t take us back to you and me
being all in love
You dirty rat you broke my heart
I can’t believe it went this far
turn off the heat. blow out the spark
Now I gotta say what I have said
I look alive but I feel dead
but as for us are still good friends?
NO NO NO
well I should cry…
but I’ve done too much already
I can’t lie
cause you’re better then, than I’ll ever be
and it won’t take us back to you and me
being all alone
You dirty rat
I gotta say
you sure know how to wreck my day
turn off the sun and walk away
and now I know just what to find
and now its you who’s next in line
but as for us it was the best of times
