It's A Bitter Pill To Swallow

Hey hey

Oh oh

My my my my

Oh oh oh

Here I stand lonely, just a heartbroken guy

I used to be a laugher, 'til I made my baby cry

And I knew my baby loved me, I was overconfident

So I did her wrong, now she's gone, I don't know which way she went

Oh

My baby forgave me so much time and time and time again

'Cause when your baby starts to walk away

And tells you no need to follow

And nothing you do, seems to make her stay

It's a bitter pill to have to swallow

That the way the ball bounces, that's the way the cookie crumbles

From the top to the bottom, that's a long way to tumble

Oh when you realize that you're no longer first on your baby's list

And the home you thought you had forever no longer exists

Oh

You wake up and you discover what a great fool you have been

Oh oh baby

I-I-I know I know

I know it's a bitter pill to have to swallow

(Bitter pill to swallow)

(Bitter pill to swallow)

(Bitter pill to swallow)

(Bitter pill to swallow)

Ooh baby, what kind of fool am I?

To know that you love me and yet I made you cry

Baby when I think it over

It's my fault that I'm here, gone

But if I could do it over

I would leave her some love to live on

And on and on

Oh darling you forgave me so much time and time and time again

'Cause when your baby starts to walk away (oh oh)

And tells you no need to follow (yes it is, yes it is)

And nothing you do, seems to make her stay (oh yeah)

I know it's a bitter pill to have to swallow

When your baby starts to walk away (oh)

And tells you no need to follow (oh yeah)
