It's a Bitter Pill to Swallow

[Verse 1] Here I stand lonely, just a heartbroken guy I used to be a laugher, 'till I made my baby cry And I knew my baby loved me, I was overconfident So I did her wrong, now she's gone, I don't know which way she went [Chorus] My baby forgave me so much time and time and time again Cause when your baby starts to walk away And tells you no need to follow And nothing you do, seems to make her stay It's a bitter pill to have to swallow [Verse 2] But the way the ball bounces, that's the way the cookie crumbles From the top to the bottom, that's a long way to tumble Oh when you realize that you're no longer first on your baby's list And the home you thought you had forever no longer exists [Chorus] You wake up and you discover what a great fool you have been Cause when your baby starts to walk away And tells you no need to follow And nothing you do, seems to make her stay It's a bitter pill to have to swallow [Bridge] Ooh baby, what kind of fool am I? To know that you love me and yet I made you cry Baby when I think it over It's fault that I'm here, gone, but I'd like to do it over And would deliver my love to you warm And on and on [Chorus] Oh darling you forgave me so much time and time and time again Cause when your baby starts to walk away And tells you no need to follow And nothing you do, seems to make her stay It's a bitter pill to have to swallow Cause when your baby starts to walk away And tells you no need to follow And nothing you do, seems to make her stay It's a bitter pill to have to swallow
