Curtis Mayfield
Suffer
[Verse 1]
Standing here alone
Looking off 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 gentle to me in every way

[Chorus]
Why couldn't I see you were in love with me?
Why didn't I know just which way to go?
Now I must suffer
Now I must suffer
Oh, I don't know why I have to suffer

[Verse 2]
What will I become?
Loneliness blends with the sun
But there for me, I already see
I don't want you away from me
If only I had the mind
To give you somе kind of sign
This might not have been
Here mе standing out, looking in

[Chorus]
Why couldn't I see you were in love with me?
Why didn't I know just which way to go?
Now I must suffer
Now I must suffer
Ooh, oh
Oh, oh
Why couldn't I see you were in love with me?
Why didn't I know just which way to go?
Now I must suffer
Now I must suffer
Oh, suffer
Suffer
Now I must suffer
[?] and suffer
Oh, suffer
Now I must suffer
