Supremes - Now The Bitter, Now The Sweet lyrics

rate me

(William "Smokey" Robinson, Cecelia Franklin)

Now the bitter, now the sweet

Halfway down life's busy street

Neither quickning the grueling pace

Neither leading in the race [Hey, yeah]

In the race [Say it again]

In the race [In the race]

In the race [Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah]

Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba

Now the bitter, now the sweet

Halfway down life's bust street

Hand in hand they always go

That is something all should know [Oooh, yeah]

All should know [Whoo, hoo, hooo]

All should know

Never pleassure without pain

Never lost apart from gain

Never joy [Oh no] apart from strife

[Don't you know that] each of these has its place in life, yeah

Place in life [Say it again, now]

Place in life

Place in life

Bitter...

Sweet....

Bitter... [Sweet, sweet]

Sweet...

As the storms of life must rage

Words be only turn the page

Now the day [Now the day-ay-ay] and now the night

Now the wrong and now the right

The day and night, the wrong and right

Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba

Now the bitter, now the sweet

Halfway down life's busy street

Equal standing in the light of man

Band as do as best you can

Amen [Say amen]

A-a-amen [Amen]

Amen [Amen!]

A-a-amen [Amen]

Amen [Whoa, oh]

A-a-amen

Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba

Now the bitter, now the sweet

Now the sweet [Now the sweet], now the sweet

Bitter....

Sweet....

Bitter... [Sweet, sweet]

Sweet...

Bitter.... [Bitter, sweet]

Sweet.... sweet.... [Now the sweet]

Sweet....
