Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Honky Ch鈚eau
I got frostbitten in the winter
Ice skating on the river
With my pretty little black-eyed girl
She'd make your darn toes curl just to see her
I got a fringe front on my buggy
I got a frisky little colt in a hurry
And a pretty little black-eyed Suzie by my side
Well she sure knows how to use me
Pretty little black-eyed Suzie
Playing hooky with my heart all the time
Living with her funky family
In a derelict old alley
Down by the river where we share a little loving in the moonshine
I'm an old hayseed harp player
I'm the hit of the county fair
With my pretty little black-eyed girl
Living proof as she swirls
She's a dancerI'M HERE , LAYING UNDERNEATH
BUT THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
YOU SLOWLY WENT YOUR WAY FROM ME
FELT YOUR SOFTNESS FADE AWAY
WHO AM I ?
TO MAKE YOU STAY
OH , HERE WE GO AGAIN
ENTERING THE MASQUERADE
THIS IS THE PLACE
DREAMS WILL SHATTER
COVER YOUR FACE AND CARE NO MORE
SHE DON'T CARE NO MORE
THESE NARROWED EYES I DON'T KNOW
NOTHING IS THERE BEHIND
THE MASK YOU WEAR
NOW IT FEELS SO UNREAL
COLD AS ICE
THIS FACE I SEE
MASQUERADE , MASQUERADE
LET ME OUT
MASQUERADE, MASQUERADE
CARE NO MORE
MASQUERADE
SHE DON'T CARE NO MORE
MASQUERADE, MASQUERADE
LET ME OUT TO SAVE HER
