Suzanna

The lyrics describe someone who has waited a long time to be alone with Susanna and hopes the moment will become romantic. At first, he feels excited and almost unable to believe his luck. A phone call interrupts them, and when he tries again, the mood has changed. The encounter ends with Susanna leaving, while his feelings remain intense.

The locked door and empty house suggest privacy and a rare chance to be together. The phone ringing at the crucial moment works as an unwelcome interruption; his repeated “Why now, why me?” expresses frustration rather than a serious question. When Susanna asks to “sit and chat,” he takes this as a sign that the romantic moment has passed. The phrase “the magic’s gone” means that the excitement or special feeling has disappeared.

The song presents the scene humorously, especially through the contrast between his passionate declarations and Susanna’s more ordinary response. His claim that he is “crazy” about her may be playful exaggeration, but it also suggests that he is absorbed in his own hopes. We cannot know exactly what Susanna feels: she may simply be uncomfortable, uninterested, or ready to leave for another reason. What is clear is that the two people are experiencing the evening very differently.
