Why you always want to get the best of me? I'm like a seeing eye dog and I can't even see They're naked and they're following my master who is blind And my mind's gone to pieces, I could use some peace of mind So I picked up the pieces and I made a new start Stole an old stiletto, started stabbing in the dark I can't live without it, I would surely fall apart But it's hard to make arrangements 'round a bittersweetheart Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart Better get yourself a little street smart Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure It's just my bittersweetheart Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart It's like a suicide mission when you can't see no end Tired of compliment-fishing and impressing your friends I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell It's a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of hell In the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start But you always seem to end up with a bittersweetheart There's a darkness looming but the sun is shining bright I can live to see the morning if I stay up all night Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart Without a shortcut, without a head-start Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure My bittersweetheart It's the hardest part, bittersweetheart Are you in there, are you beating? Beating me up until I'm bleeding How much blood can you spare? Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart Think just a drink might get you to the good part Lying in bed just wondering what to do It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure In time inside you find You always wind up with a bittersweetheart Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart In time inside you find You always wind up with a bittersweetheart
