Now The Bitter, Now The Sweet - The Supremes

Now the bitter, now the sweet, halfway down life’s busy street

Neither quickening the grueling pace, neither leading in the race

Oh yeah

In the race (Say it again)

In the race (In the race)

In the race (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Now the bitter, now the sweet, halfway down life’s busy street

Hand in hand they always go, That is something all should know

(Oh, yeah)

All should know

(Whoo-oo-ooh, yeah)

All should know

Never pleasure without pain

Never loss apart from gain

Never joy, ooh no, apart from strife

(Don't you know that)

Each of these has its place in life

Place in life (Say it again now)

Place in life, place in life

Bitter, sweet

Bitter, sweet

As the storms of life must rage

Would these only turn the page

Now the day and now the night

Now the wrong and now the right

The day and night, the wrong and right

Now the bitter, now the sweet

Halfway down life’s busy street

Equal standing in the life of man

Better do as best you can

Amen (Amen) Amen (Say Amen)

Amen (Amen) Amen (Amen)

Amen (Oh yeah) Amen

Now the bitter, now the sweet

Now the sweet (Now the sweet) now the sweet

Bitter, sweet

Bitter, sweet

Bitter, sweet

Bittersweet
