**[Intro: Allie X]**

(Ch, ch, ah, ah,

ch, ch, ah, ch)

**[Verse 1: Allie X]**

Susie needs a ride

She's way too drunk to drive

But, oh, she’s such a sight to see

Marshall is the problem

She's been trying to solve him

Someone needs to set her free

**[Pre-Chorus: Allie X]**

Oh no, she's waiting for no one

Hold on, hold on, I’m a block away

**[Chorus: Allie X]**

Save your love for someone like me

You don't have to be a part-time

Susie, save your love, and take mine from me

(Ah, ah, ah, Susie)

You don't have to be a part-time, save your love

**[Post-Chorus: Allie X]**

Susie, save your love

**[Verse 2: Mitski]**

Susie's riding shotgun

Saying that I'm no fun

Says she's not ready to sleep

Marshall makes her angry

So, she's tryna make me

Drive her up and down his street

**[Pre-Chorus: Mitski]**

Oh no, she's waiting for no one

Hold on, hold on, we’re a block away

**[Chorus: Allie X & Mitski]**

Save your love for someone like me

You don’t have to be a part-time

Susie, save (save, save, save,) your love, and take mine from me

(Ah, ah, ah, Susie)

You don't have to be a part-time, save your love

**[Post-chorus: Allie X & Mitski]**
