I Love You, Suzanne - Lou Reed

I Love You, Suzanne - Lou Reed
3:17
New Sensations, 1984
Written by Lou Reed

After a murmured spoken word introduction: "You broke my heart and you made me cry / You said that I couldn't dance / But now I'm back to let you know / That I can really make romance," this song turns into a hand-clapping, catchy crooning rocker, with some very basic lyrics supporting the title, on repeat.  The crunchy guitar riff really makes the song, which makes it a real shame that the riff is the subject of a split between Reed and Robert Quine, who claimed Reed nicked it off him.
