Johnny Cash - 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

But 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 every city 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 about 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 will 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
