Lyric Bitter Side Of Sweet - Clint Black

Lyric Song Bitter Side Of Sweet: Bitter Side Of Sweet
Clint BlackHayden Nicholas

She asked me how love gets along with me all by myself
Wonders how I keep from getting dust upon that shelf
She wanted to know how a man like me ends up aloneanyway
Was I breakin all the rules of love and the games that people play
I said not too many hangin round of all the ones I meet
In time they always find that I m on the bitter side of sweet

She huddled on the gate on my block where I always catch my bus
An I hoped it wouldn t stop todaythere d just be the two of us
But it showed up like it always doesabout twenty minutes late
I told her it d right along but she said she couldn t wait
She didn t need any assistance in putting some distancebetween us on that
empty street
She was of a mindin record time that I m on the bitter side of sweet

That I act this was is really no my fault
It just means all the sweet things I got to say
Come along with a grain of salt

It s no wonder I m not scoring pointsI m always out of bounds
If any wise willed words convince the pointI m foolish by the pound
An a fool can see no one believes what s rollin off my tongue
An I ve never seen a recipe for sweet talkin anyone
I could have written a book on the lessons I took in the agony of defeat
An showed you all the signs between the lines on the bitter side of sweet
