Bitter Lemon

You've been sitting here, pretty baby
Crying by the hour
The life has handed you a lemon
And it's turned out pretty sour

Ev'rybody's heard your reasons
Why you couldn't quite make the grade
It's time to take that bitter lemon
Squeeze it in a sweet lemonade

You've been crying on the shoulders
Of family, friends and foe
Who've taken the time to listen
To your sad sad tale of war

Ev'rybody's heard your reasons
Why you couldn't quite make the grade
It's time to take that bitter lemon
Squeeze it in a sweet lemonade

Now I'm coming to the conclusion
The onus is on you
To take those shattered dreams
And make one of them come true

Ev'rybody's heard your reasons, baby
Why you couldn't quite make the grade
Take that bitter lemon
Squeeze it in a sweet lemonade
