Lyrics Curtis Mayfield

Curtis Mayfield

Suffer

Standing here alone

Looking up to the sky

Even the stars seem to be mated

And I ask myself why

I can't understand why

I never made a play

When you were so pretty to me in every way

Why couldn't I see you were in love with me

Why didn't I know just which way to go

Now I cannot forget

Standing here with the fear

And now I must suffer

Oh everybody know this woman I loved

What will I become

Loneliness gleams with the sun

But dear for me I already see

I don't want you away from me

If only I wasn't so blind

And gave you some kind of sign

This might not have been

Yes it's me standing out looking in

Throw your heart out the door

I guess I won't do it no more

Now I got to suffer

The woman I loved

It seems sometimes in life

You waste a sacrifice

The lack of the love you show her

Can show her the things right on out the door

Why couldn't I see you were in love with me

This might not have been

Yes its me standing out looking in

Throw your heart out the door

Guess I won't do that no more

Now I got to suffer

The loss of the woman I loved

It seems sometimes in life

You waste your sacrifice

I don't know what come over me

Just got to let it be

Suffer

I got to suffer

Suffer

Got to

Got to

Got to suffer

Got to suffer

Got to suffer

Got to suffer

Got to suffer
