Oh Susanna
beauty boy
Select language to translate this lyric
I crawled for you
Hands and knees turn blue
But your cruelty soon told me
Nothing would do
Punishment
Clothes and rags I rent
But nothing would stop my
Heart's lament
Why do you break me
Force me, forsake me?
When you love me not hate me
My beauty boy
A treasure chest
Under waves of wet
Part to reveal
My sweet secret
Take my flesh
Steal away my breath
Still a foolish hope follows
Wise regret
When will you love me?
In a thousand years only
But you never will own me
My beauty boy
