Sing It Pretty, Sue Songtext

von Johnny Cash

Sing It Pretty, Sue

So you gave up all between us for a glamorous career;
And with all your talent you should be the big star of the year.
Then you'll be public property, so I release my claim to you;
Go on and give 'em all you've got.
Sing it pretty, Sue.

But I can't take just part of you and give the world a half,
So smile for all the papers and give 'em autographs.
Go on to all the cities, so your public can see you,
But I'll watch on television,
So sing it pretty, Sue.

Guitar

I hope you'll soon be on the top of every hit parade;
I'll try to be excited ?bout the progress that you've made.
I'll collect your pictures like any fan would do;
And I'll buy all your records,
So sing it pretty, Sue.

But I won't ever tell a soul that we have ever met,
I'll just be one of millions who'll give the praise you get.
And maybe ev?ry year or so, I'll drop a card to you,
To tell you I'm still list?ning,
So sing it pretty, Sue.
