Bitter With the Sweet

[Verse 1]

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

And I know that

You've got to take the bitter with the sweet

[Verse 2]

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, well, it's true what they say

If you want to feel complete

Don't you know that

You've got to take the bitter with the sweet

[Bridge]

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

Na na na na na

Na na na, na na na na na na

Da da da da da da

Na na da da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da da da

[Verse 3]

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

[Outro]

You got to take the bitter with the sweet

You got to take, you got to take

You got to take the bitter with the sweet

The bitter with the sweet

Sweet, sweet

Oh sweet
