Lyrics for Album: This Is The Story: The '70s Albums, Vol.1 - 1970-1973 [2006]
(William "Smokey" Robinson, Cecelia Franklin)
Now the bitter, now the sweet
Halfway down life's busy street
Neither quickning the grueling pace
Neither leading in the race [Hey, yeah]
In the race [Say it again]
In the race [In the race]
In the race [Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah]
Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh
B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba
B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba
Now the bitter, now the sweet
Halfway down life's bust street
Hand in hand they always go
That is something all should know [Oooh, yeah]
All should know [Whoo, hoo, hooo]
All should know
Never pleassure without pain
Never lost apart from gain
Never joy [Oh no] apart from strife
[Don't you know that] each of these has its place in life, yeah
Place in life [Say it again, now]
Place in life
Place in life
Bitter...
Sweet....
Bitter... [Sweet, sweet]
Sweet...
As the storms of life must rage
Words be only turn the page
Now the day [Now the day-ay-ay] and now the night
Now the wrong and now the right
The day and night, the wrong and right
Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh
B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba
B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba
Now the bitter, now the sweet
Halfway down life's busy street
Equal standing in the light of man
Band as do as best you can
Amen [Say amen]
A-a-amen [Amen]
Amen [Amen!]
A-a-amen [Amen]
Amen [Whoa, oh]
A-a-amen
Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh
B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba
B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba
Now the bitter, now the sweet
Now the sweet [Now the sweet], now the sweet
Bitter....
Sweet....
Bitter... [Sweet, sweet]
Sweet...
Bitter.... [Bitter, sweet]
Sweet.... sweet.... [Now the sweet]
Sweet....
