I had a heart big as Atlanta
Aku punya hati sebesar Atlanta
Till I ran in to a dancer named Savannah
[saya bertemu seorang penari bernama Savannah]
She stole my soul away
[dia mencuri jiwaku]
Took my wallet and my chain
[mengambil dompet dan rantai ku]
Left me here standin’ out in the rain
[membiarkanku berdiri di sini di tengah hujan]

Suzi Suzi man that chick was groovy
[Suzi Suzi, wah cewek itu keren banget]
Let her ride in my four door Cadillac
[Biarkan dia naik Cadillac empat pintu ku]
One night while I was sleepin’ ever so softly
[Suatu malam saat aku tidur nyenyak]
She hit the road and never did come back
[dia pergi dan tidak pernah kembali]

(chorus)
One of these days I’m gonna set my ways
[Salah satu hari nanti aku akan ubah cara hidupku]
Maybe I quit all this runnin’ round
[Mungkin aku akan berhenti dari semua keluyuran ini]
Gonna find me a woman with her head on tight
[Aku akan mencari wanita yang punya kepala yang benar]
Maybe then I’ll get some sleep at night
[Mungkin saat itu aku bisa tidur nyenyak di malam hari]

Roxy baby what a foxy lady
[Roxy sayang, betapa seksi nya dia]
Loved to wear her great big diamond rings
[Suka banget pakai cincin berlian besar]
Money in my pocket boys you know I couldn’t buy her toys
[Uang di saku, tapi kalian tahu aku tidak bisa beli mainan untuknya]
Left me here with a load of blues to sing
[Membiarkanku di sini dengan beban kesedihan untuk dinyanyikan]

(chorus)

Janet Janet from the boogie planet
[Janet Janet dari planet boogie]
Had a body out of this world
[Punya tubuh yang luar biasa]
I thought Janet was for real
[Aku pikir Janet itu nyata]
She was gonna get me a record deal
[Dia akan membawaku mendapatkan kontrak rekaman]
Till she ran away with another girl
[Sampai dia pergi dengan cewek lain]

(chorus)

Shelby Shelby Lord help me
[Shelby Shelby, ya Tuhan tolong aku]
That girl come alive at night
[Cewek itu hidup di malam hari]
She’s straight out of Californ-I-A
[Dari California, langsung saja]
Something bout that girl hey
[Ada sesuatu tentang cewek itu, hey]
See her once see her every day go by
[Melihatnya sekali, melihatnya setiap hari berlalu]

(chorus)
