Well Bobby's out with Susie Q
And Larry's here trying to down a few cold ones
Just to get her off his mind
He's drinking turkey like it's water
If the bar had something stronger he'd be on it
In the blink of an eye

Then Susie Q walked in with that boy Bobby
Holding her hand
And some were scared to death and some held their breath but not a person there
Didn't understand

It's all about love
One don't one does
And that's just the way it is
One heart's movin' on
One heart's holdin strong
And one's left on the fence
Gonna be a Sunday morning first light
Grapevine telling lies
Face to face deny
What happened on Saturday night

Well Larry called the waitress over
Tipped her a twenty just to hold her
And Susie caught it out of the corner of her eye
She left Bobby there standin'
At the table empty-handed as the band played "Why Lady Why"

It's all about love
One don't one does
And that's just the way it is
One heart's movin' on
One heart's holdin strong
And one's left on the fence
Gonna be a Sunday morning first light
Grapevine telling lies
Face to face deny
What happened on Saturday night

Ol' Bobby's aim was true as he knocked out Larry's tooth
And Susie Q startin cussin' Bobby out
She told Larry that she loved him
On the floor as she hugged him
And the waitress bought Bobby a round

She said

It's all about love
One don't one does
And that's just the way it is
One heart's movin' on
One heart's holdin strong
And one's left on the fence
Gonna be a Sunday morning first light
Grapevine telling lies
Face to face deny
What happened on Saturday
Sunday morning first light
Grapevine telling lies
Face to face deny
What happened on Saturday night
