Suffer Songtext
von Curtis Mayfield

Standing here alone, looking on 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 blends with some
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 sure run things right on out the door

Why couldn't I see you were in love with me?
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 that no more
Now I got to suffer, the loss of the woman I loved

Seems sometime in life, you waste a sacrifice
I don′t know what come over me
Guess I got to let it be

Suffer, I got to suffer
Suffer, I got to, I got to
I got to suffer, I got to suffer
I got to suffer, I got to suffer
