Bitter To Swallow

I shouldn't complain
I've had a good time
But why should good times have to end?

Another contender's hanging off your arm
He's easy to look at
He's got buckets of charm
That sort of man could do me a lot of harm
How I wish I was him

But still, the pill
Is bitter to swallow
The real world is a bit too hard to take
And I know when I go
You're not gonna follow
Why should you?
But jealousy is so hard to shake

I watch TV
Smoke cigarettes
The more that you cry‚ you know the wetter you'll get
The thoughts that I think
They will be bitter and strong
Like the coffee you get in motels
It's not that I want a glory box‚ a trousseau
Or the hear the sound of wedding bells

But still‚ the pill
Is bitter to swallow
The real world is a bit too hard to take
And I know when I go
You're not gonna follow
Why should you?
But jealousy is so hard to shake

What I hear
I won't believe
Hope my eyes
Might deceive

I shouldn't complain
I've had a good time
But why should good times have to end?

Another contender's hanging off your arm
He's easy to look at
He's got buckets of charm
That sort of man could do me a lot of harm
How I wish I was him

But still, the pill
Is bitter to swallow
The real world is a bit too hard to take
And I know when I go
You're not gonna follow
Why should you?
But jealousy is so hard to shake

Bitter to swallow
Too bitter to swallow
Bitter to swallow
Too bitter to swallow
Bitter to swallow
Bitter to swallow
Bitter to swallow
Bitter to swallow
