Susie was a high school queen, she understood the score
The price for popularity: Ask a little more
Went though an abortion before she was seventeen
Then she met Benny, a drifting ex-marine
Oh, Susie, Susie, why didn't you heed the call?
You clung to false security and in the end you lost it all
Oh
Benny rode a motorcycle with his girlfriend Sue
Didn't know last Saturday was the last thing they'd ever do
I read it all in the paper, over on page nine
He lost control, he lost his life, ignored the one inside
Benny, Benny, why didn't you heed the call?
When death came knocking you had to face it, face it after all
Benny, Benny, the funeral is today
Nobody knew, not even Susie or you, the price that you had to pay
The price that you had to pay
A year passed and Susie sits alone with broken dreams
High school magic memories, nothing's what it seems
As you cry, little girl, I cry for you
I can heal your bitterness and heal your heartaches too
Susie, Susie, do you hear Jesus call?
To follow sin or to follow love - the hardest choice of all (x3)
