Sue Lyrics

I know a girl, her name is sue
she says she really digs making love to you
here she comes

all alone she lives on my street
no jacket on her back or shoes on her feet
and it's cool

she tries so hard to stop her pain
as she sticks a dirty needle deep into her vein
here we go

I am so sorry, what I did to you
I didn't mean to hurt you, no, little sue
(it's okay)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

one of my favorites....if you can say that about the fuckin greatest band out there since the velvet undergound...the drums are just so damn good...the guitars always are the shit.that part after antons singin "...deep into her vein,here we go" is just soo good...that describes the feeling you get out of a smack hit like no other part in any song,except for some lou reed stuff...antons the fuckin godfather of todays underground rock music...no doubt

@flowsen You’re right there. We are very fortunate that Anton is still here, making the most incredible music.

The line should be "as she sticks a dirty needle deep into her vein."

And I agree with flowsen...after "here we go" that music is (one of) the closest thing you'll get to a hit of smack next to actually doing it. I also agree with the Velvet Underground comment, too. But, it's hard for me to say it's the best example after having heard songs such as "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" and "Cop Shoot Cop" by Spiritualized.
