Bitter with the Sweet

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 East 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 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 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
