[Intro: Pharrell, Jazze Pha, Skillz]
Hey (Suzie)
Oh, Suzie, Suzie, Suzie
Oh, come on
Suzie Q (Yeah, uh-huh, uh, yeah)
Suzie (Uh, yeah)
[Verse 1: Skillz, Cee-Lo]
Ayo, just last week I was in Club Heat
And I observed this lady that I wanted to meet
She was the at-the-bar type (Uh-huh), the rent-a-car type (Uh-huh)
The cubic zirconia star type
The type to get a drink and then babysit it
Hair weave and jeans both tightly fitted (Uh-huh)
Every cat in the club done probably ran up in it
Real girls be like, "Look at that nasty bitch"
So I walked over to her, like, "Hi, my namе Skillz"
She said, "Can you buy me a drink," "Sure, I will"
Thinkin', "Jеsus, I got game so I'ma hit it" (Come on)
That was like tadow, blaow, I don't get it
Ma, what's your sign, 'cause I'd like to know
And if you game, I got we can probably go
But I was blind, I shoulda seen all the signs for sure
My man warned me (You 'bout to fall like some dominoes)
Come on
[Chorus: Cee-Lo, Skillz]
I'm Suzie Q (Uh-huh)
She keep hummin' 'bout her hoochie-coo (Let's talk about it, come on)
She always bragged
Talkin' 'bout what she gon' do to you (Right now, shawty)
If I'm a source to shade
She see a nigga from a mile away (Yeah, yeah, come on)
Remember, all these dames
They all play the game the same, oh yeah
[Verse 2: Skillz]
You see, Suzie was the type that could do it all night
She'd go session after session if the mood was right
You know the type that's never feisty, never act sheisty
Play her cards right, she could end up being wifey
Two months to this, she could soothe the plot
'Cause whatever Suzie wanted, Suzie got
She got the rings and things like the jewels and rocks
My nose was open, I let her move in the spot (No, no)
Now I ain't the type to be fallin' for no broads, y'all
But sooner or later a player bound to get caught, y'all
All the while I'm thinking that I'm running things
Got it bad like Usher, running 'round in the rain
I play games while I try to confuse her
You wouldn't know unless you walking in my shoes, bruh
Nowadays, you don't know who's stalkin'
So if you see Suzie Q, dawg, keep on walkin'
[Chorus: Cee-Lo, Skillz]
Ow, here come Suzie Q (Uh-huh)
She keep hummin' 'bout her hoochie-coo (Ho, break it down, come on)
She always bragged
Talkin' 'bout what she gon' do to you (Watch out, shawty)
If I'm a source to shade (Say what?)
She see a nigga from a mile away (See you from a mile away, come on)
Remember, all these dames
They all play the game the same, oh yeah
[Bridge: Jazze Pha]
She's super fly if you ask me
Ghetto fabulous and classy (Sing it now)
A figure-8 for her body
And she's the life of the party
She got a nice round booty
And she know she's a cutie
Ain't a lotta niggas that she give her coochie to
I think I love you, Suzie Q
[Verse 3: Skillz]
See, by now, she done me out
I know a few understand what I'm talking about
I was just another rapper who had some clout
'Cause when the dough got low, yo, Suzie was out
A hard lesson wasn't all that she gave me (No)
And attention wasn't all that she paid me (Uh-uh)
I used think I'd never let a chick fade me
Then I think back to how Suzie played me
A mind game 'cause we all go through it
'Cause see Suzie had thinking that I wanted to do it
See, to keep her, I thought I had to pass her something
Now that I think back, she ain't ever asked for nothing
Yo, she's a pro and I got played like an amateur
I seen 'em go from athletes down to janitors
If you a baller you probably thinking you can handle her
Welcome to the scandalous world of panhandlers
[Chorus: Cee-Lo, Skillz]
Ah, I'm Suzie Q
She keep hummin' 'bout her hoochie-coo
She always bragged
Talkin' 'bout what she gon' do to you (Watch out, shawty)
If I'm a source to shade
She see a nigga from a mile away
Remember, all these dames
They all play the game the same, oh yeah
[Outro: Pharrell Williams]
Come on and tell 'em once again (Say what?)
I hear you, man
Oh, ooh
She can see you, boy, hey
You know, it make a man say, "Damn"
Damn
Hey (Suzie)
Oh, Suzie, Suzie, Suzie
Oh, come on
Suzie Q (Yeah, uh-huh, uh, yeah)
Suzie (Uh, yeah)
