Giving Them Back To Susan

There are things that I have learned that my mama told me
There are things that I have learned I would have found out anyway
There are things that I have learned through sheer exposure
There are things that I have learned that I'd rather throw away


Chorus
I'm going to be giving them back to Susan
She taught me everything she knew
I'm going to be giving them back to Susan
She needs them more than I do


When I think of all the times she brought me to my senses
When I think of how long I thirsted in the Promised Land
She said, "Why do you mind all these things you're missing?
Everything you've ever wanted you have right here in your hands"

Chorus

There are things that I have learned that my mama taught me
There are things that I have learned I would have found out anyway
There are things that I have learned through sheer exposure
There are things that I have learned that I'd rather throw away

Chorus
