 (W. Robinson/C. Franklin)
Now the bitter, now the sweet, halfway down life's busy streetNeither quickening the grueling pace, neither leading in the race
Oh yeahIn 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 streetHand 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 painNever loss apart from gainNever 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, sweetBitter, sweet
As the storms of life must rageWould these only turn the pageNow the day and now the nightNow the wrong and now the right
The day and night, the wrong and right
Now the bitter, now the sweetHalfway down life's busy streetEqual standing in the life of manBetter do as best you can
Amen (Amen) Amen (Say Amen)Amen (Amen) Amen (Amen)Amen (Oh yeah) Amen
Now the bitter, now the sweetNow the sweet (Now the sweet) now the sweet
Bitter, sweetBitter, sweet,Bitter, sweetBittersweet
