Post #630: Lou Reed - "I Love You, Suzanne" - New Sensations

My mother came to spend the weekend with me so that she could see my new place and celebrate Mother's Day.  A few words of wisdom that my mother always reinforced throughout my young life were to get my education and to make sure that I could always take care of myself, which I consider very forward and profound thinking for a woman who was raised in a generation where getting married and having children were still fully expected of every female.  I adore my mother for never making me feel like my existence should center around catering to a man and procreating.  I can never thank her enough for letting me know it was okay to just be me and to stand alone, if and when I need to do so.  My adult life has been so rich and so full and so simple thanks to her incredible prudence and insight.  I hope she will always know how much I appreciate and cherish her for making me strong and independent!!  

I love you, mom (a/k/a Suzanne)!!

Until next time...

XOXOXO

You broke my heart and you made me cry
You said that I couldn't dance
But now I'm back to let you know
That I can really make romance

You do what you gotta do
You do everything you can
You do what you wanna do
Hey, but I love you, Suzanne

You do anything once
You try anything twice
You do what you gotta do
Hey, but I love you, Suzanne, hey, hey

Do what you wanna do
You do what you can
You do what you wanna do
But I love you, Suzanne

I love you when you're good
Baby, I love you when you're bad
You do what you gotta do
Hey, but I love you, Suzanne

Do what you wanna do
Hey, baby, do what you can
You do what you wanna do, baby
But I love you, Suzanne

I know you, try anything once, baby
You try anything twice
Do what you gotta do
But I love you, Suzanne

I love you when you're good, baby
I love you when you're bad
Do what you wanna do
Ooohhh, but I love you, Suzanne, hey, hey

Yeah, I love you, Suzanne
I love you, Suzanne
I love you, Suzanne
Oh, sweet ...

Do what you wanna do
Hey, you do what you can
You do what you wanna do
Hey, but I love you, Suzanne

You try anything once
You do anything twice
Do what you wanna do
You know that I love you, Suzanne
