[Intro]
Hey, hey, wake up, wake up
I gotta go, I gotta go
[Verse 1]
The sun is rising fast, I must be going
We were wrong, but, oh, what a night
Each time we meet, the guilt keeps flowing
But I've become addicted to your love
[Chorus]
Bittersweet, I know your love's no good for me
But it's handy like candy
You're salt and sugar at the very same time
Bittersweet, you're gonna be the death of me
I don't want you, but I need you
You're good for my soul but bad for my mind
[Verse 2]
Oh, baby, if I could only quit you
I could spare my life some misery
But it's a fact, I can't do without you
Your love has become a part of me
[Chorus]
Bittersweet, I know your love's no good for me
But it's handy like candy
You're salt and sugar at the very same time
Bittersweet, you're gonna be the death of me
I don't want you, but I need you
You're good for my soul but bad for my mind
[Interlude]
You're bad for me, but ooh, so good to me
You folks know what I'm talking about out there
Oh
Oh, if Daddy could see me now
[Verse 3]
Ooh
Oh, seriously, girl, I must be going
Getting home this late, it just ain't right
I can't fool my heart, so before I leave you
Promise me you'll leave me tomorrow night
[Chorus]
Bittersweet, I know your love's no good for me
But it's handy like candy
You're salt and sugar at the very same time
Bittersweet, baby, baby, baby
You're gonna be the death of me
I don't want you, but I need you
You're good for my soul but bad for my mind
Bittersweet, you're gonna make a wreck of me
You're so handy, you're like candy
Girl, you're salt and sugar at the very same time
Bittersweet, you're gonna be the death of me
I don't want you, but I need you
You're good for my soul but bad for my mind
Bittersweet, oh, I know your love's no good for me
But it's handy, it's like candy
You're salt and sugar at the very same time
Bittersweet, bittersweet
Girl, you're no good for me, but I need you
You're good for my soul but bad for my mind
Bittersweet, ooh, baby, I know your love's no good for me
But it's handy, you're like candy
