It's A Bitter Pill To Swallow - Marvin Gaye

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

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

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

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

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

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
