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
