Pull on some socks,Slide the foot in.Lace ’em up tight,Before you begin. Stand up and get steady,Push off and let go.Feel yourself balance,It’s ok to go slow. chorus Roller Skating,Round and round.Music pulsating,Hear the sound.We’re not roller racing,When we’re in sync.We’re just roller skating,At the rink.

Suzanne, Suzanne,When I’m around you, you’re so cold.You might think that it is obvious,But, whatever I did should be told. I’m not wasting time decodingthings said or was not said,Suzanne, Suzanne….I think our friendship might be dead.

When I’m drivingAnd see a soul in need,Or in the gardenWhen I plant a seed.My life… ohhh…Is Yours to use, Lord Jesus.
