My life for awhile was a party, but then I finally came around

Once again I began to start in to get my feet on solid ground

Cause living with some fallen angel was like to burn me down

To where I can see that love is bittersweet, oh, oh, bittersweet



I feel like a fool for believin' that I could run on shaky ground

With all the tracks I was leavin' I left a trail more lost than found

Nobody said love was easy and I know it's cold and hot



Believe it or not it taste bittersweet

Oh, oh bittersweet

Oh, oh bittersweet



Bittersweet romance, cold and hot, 

You say you love her, you love her not



You win, I lose, I give, you take, finally it gets down to be a place

Where love can taste so bittersweet

Oh, oh bittersweet

Oh, oh bittersweet

Oh, oh bittersweet



Bittersweet romance, cold and hot,

She says she loves you, she loves you not



She wins, you lose, I give, she takes, 

But finally it gets down to be a place

Where love can taste so bittersweet



Oh, oh bittersweet love

Oh, oh bittersweet

Oh, oh bittersweet love



Oh, oh bittersweet

Oh, oh bittersweet love

Oh, oh bittersweet
