Bitter With the Sweet

BITTER WITH THE SWEET

by Carole King

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

I guess it gets to everyone,

you think you're not having fun

And you wonder what you're doing

playing the games you play

Hey, well, it's true what they say

If ou want to feel complete

don't you know that

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 waht 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
