Bitter With The Sweet

Sometimes I'm tired and I wonder what's so all-fired
Important about being some place at some time
Oh, but I don't really mind, 'cause I could be, oh, really sweet
Don't you know you 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 want to feel complete
Oh, yeah, yeah, you got to take the bitter with the sweet
A friend of mine once told me
And I know he knows all about feeling down
He said, "Everything good in life you got to pay for
And feeling good is what you're paying 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 beaten
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, sweet, yeah, sweet
