Bittersweet

Jerry Jeff Walker/Bob Livingston

My life for awhile was a party, but then I finally came around
Once again I began to start in to get my feet on solid ground
Cause living with some fallen angel was like to burn me down
To where I can see that love is bittersweet, oh, oh, bittersweet

I feel like a fool for believin' that I could run on shaky ground
With all the tracks I was leavin' I left a trail more lost than found
Nobody said love was easy and I know it's cold and hot

Believe it or not it taste bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet

Bittersweet romance, cold and hot,
You say you love her, you love her not

You win, I lose, I give, you take, finally it gets down to be a place
Where love can taste so bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet

Bittersweet romance, cold and hot,
She says she loves you, she loves you not

She wins, you lose, I give, she takes,
But finally it gets down to be a place
Where love can taste so bittersweet

Oh, oh bittersweet love
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet love

Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet love
Oh, oh bittersweet
