The Suffering Lyrics - Fishbone

I saw the stars in your eyes 

And I knew it was puppy school love 

xxx 

You saw the twinkle in mine 

Then we both knew it was time to hold our breath 

xxxAnd run and get committed 

We got lost in a sea of love and lust 

With a galaxy of trust 

xxxWe were soon committed 

To each other like a mussel in a clam 

To the movies to the mall glued together hand in hand 

And we walked and ran through love land 

Everything was fine 

Until my baby took me for my very last dime 

Bang, bang, shoot me dead 

Thought my baby loved me 

But I'd been mislead 

My, my she sucked me dry 

Now the little Ms. wants to say bye bye 

Once I was a King 

Now I'm wrapped around her finger 

Like a diamond ring 

The engagement ring 

The wedding ring 

The church bells ring 

And the suffering 

Understand I'm a man 

Who believes in the glory of love 

xxxYou're a fool and a sucka 

True love is the light shining bright 

From the Heavens, The Heavens above 

xxxYou cold motherfucker 

I believe, I believe it is better to trust 

Even when I'm wrong 

xxxBe careful you're my brother 

Than to let my fear drive me 

From the home where I have belonged 

xxx 

She was my Queen to protect and serve 

Then she threw me a curve 

Skam skimmin' gold diggin' 

Kick me to the curb 

Bang, bang, shoot me dead 

Thought my baby loved me 

But I'd been mislead 

My, my she sucked me dry 

Now the little Ms. wants to say bye bye 

Once I was a King 

Now I'm wrapped around her finger 

Like a diamond ring 

The engagement ring 

The wedding ring 

The church bells ring 

And the suffering 

I know what they say on the street 

She's a cheat and a thief and a liar 

xxxAnd everybody knows it 

But she's my light and my love and my hope 

And my only desire 

xxxYou're anger can't control it 

She broke the bank, then she took my car 

That chick stole my heart 

Should have known from the start 

Bang, bang, shoot me dead 

Thought my baby loved me 

But I'd been mislead 

My, my she sucked me dry 

Now the little Ms. wants to say bye bye 

Once I was a King 

Now I'm wrapped around her finger 

Like a diamond ring 

The engagement ring 

The wedding ring 

The church bells ring 

And the suffering
