Bitter With the Sweet Lyrics by Samuel Purdey

Musically Adrift

1999

Sometimes I'm tired and I wonder
What's so all-fired important
About being someplace at some time
Oh, but I don't really mind
Cause I could be on Easy Street
Don't you know
You've got to take the bitter with the sweet
I guess it gets to everyone
You think you're not having any fun
And you wonder what you're doing
Playing the games you play
Hey hey, well, it's true what they say
If you wanna feel complete
Don't you know
You've got to take the bitter with the sweet
A friend of mine once told me
And I know he knows all about feelin' down
He said everything good in life
You've got to pay for
But feelin' good is what you're paving the way for
So, don't let it get you down, my friend
Though it seems the blues will never end
On this you can depend, they always do
And I can tell you that it's true
It's a feeling that can't be beat
And you've got to do it
You've got to take the bitter with the sweet
You've got to take the bitter with the sweet
Bitter with the sweet, sweet
Ah, sweet yeah, sweet
