Detonate, detonator
Baby, oh, you blow my mind
You tell me wait, wait on ya
But, baby, I can’t wait all night
I go through pictures you send my phone
Oh, stop tempting me
You know what I want
I wanna make… wanna make love
Girl, I can’t lie
I’m just a sucker
For a cold-hearted lover
You make me suffer
You make me suffer
Don’t keep me waiting
You should come over
Don’t make me suffer
Don’t make me suffer
So, here we go, go again
It’s like I’m caught under your spell
You’re wearing black, black magic
Well, baby, don’t wear nothing else
When I open up this door, don’t you play
Ain’t no other man gon’ make you feel the same
I wanna make… wanna make love
Girl, I can’t lie
I’m just a sucker
For a cold hearted lover
You make me suffer
You make me suffer
Don’t keep me waiting
You should come over
Don’t make me suffer
Don’t make me suffer
I hate it when
You get your way
But we love, yeah, we love it, baby
So, please don’t ever change
You make me suffer, baby
You, oh
I’m just a sucker
For a cold-hearted lover
You make me suffer
You make me suffer
Don’t keep me waiting
You should come over
Don’t make me suffer
Don’t make me suffer
Love, Longing, and Emotional Turmoil
“Suffer” by Charlie Puth delves into the emotional rollercoaster of desire and heartbreak. The lyrics reveal a story of infatuation with someone emotionally distant, capturing the feeling of being drawn in by a lover’s magnetic, yet cold, allure. Puth’s candid admissions, like “I’m just a sucker for a cold-hearted lover,” highlight the struggle between wanting closeness and enduring the pain of waiting and uncertainty. The repeated plea—”Don’t make me suffer”—underscores the vulnerability and agony of unreciprocated passion, making the song deeply relatable for anyone who has experienced one-sided love or emotional games.
