Johnny Cash Sing It Pretty, Sue Lyrics

Sing It Pretty, Sue Lyrics

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



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



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 every year or so, I'll drop a card to you

To tell you I'm still listening, so, sing it pretty, Sue
