Johnny Cash - Sing It Pretty, Sue lyrics

So you gave up all between us for a glamorous carear

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

[ guitar ]

I hope you'll soon be on the top of every hitparade

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
