If You Knew Suzi... is the sixth regular studio album by Suzi Quatro, released at the end of 1978, with a 1979 copyright date (see 1978 in music). The credits show it to be a multinational production: tracks were recorded in Cologne, Germany, Paris, France, and Glendale, California. It was then mixed in California and mastered in London, England, to be distributed by a company based in New York City. This album, though it got only fair-to-middling reviews from critics, yielded Quatro's biggest American pop hit, a duet with Chris Norman named "Stumblin' In." Various international versions of the album contained the Vanda and Young-penned tune "Evie" instead of "Stumblin' In." When If You Knew Suzi was re-released as a "two-fer" with the ...Four Letter Words album, both "Evie" and "Stumblin' In" were included. Although it failed to chart in the UK, where she had been labelled as glam, it peaked at #32 on the US Billboard. |

Тексты:
Don't Change My Luck
(Chapman - Chinn)
Well you may not have his points of view But as a matter of fact I think you're downright rude To take some people apart the way you do So here we are sitting in this retaurant And I'm so tired of hearing about what you want Or maybe you've forgotten just who you're talking to Well for three long years I was waiting to hear Just a few words from you that were vaguely sincere It certainly is going to be easy forgetting about you So if you don't mind, I'll simply explain That I've found someone new and I'm living again And the last thing I need is your sympathy But try to understand, and please don't keep putting him down Don't change my luck I'm so tired of being moved around Don't change my luck Well for three long years I was on my own Now I've finally found him Baby don't change my luck Now that I've found him Please don't change my luck Oh there were so many times I was ready to leave And for so many reasons that you'd never believe I stuck around like the fool you thought me to be And I can't help it if you don't understand And I won't take the blame, but baby you can And anyway, it's time you learned a few things about me Oh yes baby this is really the end And when I walk out of here you won't see me again And this time I'm taking my life with me So please baby please, please don't keep hanging around Don't change my luck I'm so tired of being moved around Don't change my luck Well for three long years I was on my own Now I've finally found him Baby don't change my luck Now that I've found him Please don't change my luck Now that I've found him Baby don't change my luck Baby don't change my luck Please don't change my luck Baby don't change my luck

Suicide
(Quatro - Tuckey)
Goodbye American dream With your life insurance and pension schemes Whoah It's a lonely ride down golden highways Hope is blind But shoot for the skyways Promises - turn to dust And it's suicide I'm a prisoner in 72nd Street And it's suicide I'm a prisoner in 72nd Street Assembly line living machine Mass production bought sight unseen Whoah Rule and regulation daze Please the man Or lose your pay And you sell your soul to society And it's suicide I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street And it's suicide I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street Rise now No more lies Deep depression after feeling high When promises come all undone All your promises Turn to dust And it's suicide I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street And it's suicide I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street And it's suicide I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street And it's suicide I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street And it's suicide I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street And it's suicide I'm a prisoner of 72nd Street

(Chapman - Chinn)

Non Citizen
(Quatro - Tuckey)
Your mind is like a junkyard All entangled like a web You leave the wrecks of other people's lives In a trail of tattered shreds United Nations get-together There's one of every kind Of broken hearted, disappointed souls All the waste you left behind You're just a non citizen Living in a city of fools You're just a non citizen Living in a city of fools Oh excommunication You don't enjoy a soul Walk a mile above the others Baby enjoying your lonely home So keep your distance Keep your cool Laughing off your own blues Fight for the right to remain uptight You're a sad and lonely loser You're just a non citizen Living in a city of fools You're just a non citizen Living in a city of fools But you're cool You're afraid to venture out on the streets Where the warm society lives You're afraid to smile at anybody It's more than you've got to give So fight on fighter And lose loser Love can drive you insane you know Broken hearted disappointed soul Your song remains the same You're just a non citizen Living in a city of fools You're just a non citizen Living in a city of fools But you're cool

Wiser Than You
(Quatro - Tuckey)
You messed my mind Destroyed my soul How was I to know about the power of love You were wiser and older than me How you touched my heart Then you ripped it apart You changed an innocent smile and girlish laughter into crying eyes over night Good luck I hope you realise What I gave to you A virgin's love A child of trust Makin' love was something new You found me so young And taught me all you knew But I'm leaving 'Cos I'm wiser than you I remember when I thought you were my friend I believed all those lies you said She doesn't understand You're the only one for me Secret rendezvous Stolen nights for two Then suddenly something happened and I realised I'd given it all to you Good luck I hope you realise What I gave to you A virgin's love A child of trust Makin' love was something new You found me so young And taught me all you knew But I'm leaving 'Cos I'm wiser than you Good luck I hope you realise What I gave to you A virgin's love A child of trust Makin' love was something new You found me so young And taught me all you knew But I'm leaving 'Cos I'm wiser than you Good luck I hope you realise What I gave to you A virgin's love A child of trust Makin' love was something new You found me so young And taught me all you knew But I'm leaving 'Cos I'm wiser than you
