[Verse 1]
You never could be on time and
I never was much of a lover and
I never could stand to lose an
Argument at a party
I never could let you win and
I never could let things go and
You never could suffer it when I
Didn't meet you halfway
[Chorus]
So go it alone
Suffer on, just a little bit longer
Need a little more time to work it out
So go on ahead
Suffer on, just a little bit longer
Need a little more time to let it go
[Verse 2]
You never were stern enough and
I always was much too uptight
You never could understand why I
Never stopped to smell the roses
I never could hold my tongue and
You never could hold your liquor and
We never could seem to work the
Details out together
[Chorus]
So go it alone
Suffer on, just a little bit longer
Need a little more time to work it out
So go on ahead
Suffer on, just a little bit longer
Need a little more time to let it go
[Verse 3]
I never could stay in Ohio and
You never could leave your job and
We never could cut the distance
Out of our relationship
You never could express yourself and
I never would hear you out and
We never would see things eye to eye
On issues of importance
[Chorus]
So go it alone
Suffer on, just a little bit longer
Need a little more time to work it out
So go on ahead
Suffer on, just a little bit longer
Need a little more time to let it go
