Curtis Mayfield
Suffer (Demo)
[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 Lord, I don't know why I have to suffer

[Verse 2]
What will I become?
Loneliness blends with the sun
But dear, for me I already see
I don't want you away from me
If only I had the mind
To give you some kind of sign
This may not have been
Here me, 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
Oh Lord, I don't know why I have to suffer

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
Now I must suffer
Now I must suffer

Now I must suffer
Sometime I got to suffer
