Suffer Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She wanted something just like the real thing
He needed love and it all worked out somehow
He knows that love is the king of emotion
But he can't touch her 'cause she's too perfect now

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But she wasn't like that then
And he wasn't like that then
They were everything, well, everything they need

[Chorus]
Suffer me
Call on me and I, I will call on you
Suffer me
Call on me and I, I will call on you, I'll call on you, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
She wasn't thinking about anyone else just then
But she knew someone else would always come to mind
'Cause they were strangers living in the feeling
They were scared when they heard they talked about love

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But it wasn't like that then
It just wasn't like that then
They took everything 'cause everything was for real
[Chorus]
Suffer me
Call on me and I, I will call on you
Suffer me
Call on me and I, I will call on you

[Bridge]
Oh yes, they were thinning out
At that moment they were all afraid
Started thinking that pretty soon one of them would leave
She said suffer me

[Chorus]
Oh, suffer me (Suffer me)
Call on me and I (Suffer me)
I will call on you
Suffer me, yeah (Suffer me)
Call on me and I (Suffer me)
I will call on you
Suffer me, yeah, yeah (Suffer me)
Call on me 'cause I (Suffer me)
I will call on you
Suffer me, yeah (Suffer me)
Call on me 'cause I (Suffer me)
I will call on you, I will call on you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
