Little Bit Of Heaven And A Little Bit Of Hell

(Album: Reachin' All Around - 1982)

Well I've been fooling, I've been so sweet and kind
I'm pleased all the time, but now I've changed my mind
I think you're gonna find I'm not so sweet and kind

'Cause there's a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell
You can't have one without the other, as far as I can tell
You know I want your friendship, and I really like your smile
So why take just a part of me, when all of me is worthwhile?

People pick your break, or you'll stay the same
Well I ain't playing games, are you afraid to see
Those secret parts of me, the Jekyll in Hyde of me

'Cause there's a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell
You can't have one without the other, as far as I can tell
If you're looking for some answers, well to oneself be true
If I ain't being honest with myself, I sure won't be with you

Society's just a crash course of self-destruction, self-denial
And I ain't being fair to this machine for my survival
I'm out of one paying dues, I'm leaving the life I choose
Don't know if I'll fake, I can't afford to lose!

'Cause there's a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell
You can't have one without the other, as far as I can tell
Loving don't come easy, it's not easy to relate
Just trust in me and trust yourself, come on, communicate!

'Cause there's a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell
You can't have one without the other, as far as I can tell
Loving don't come easy, it's not easy to relate
Just trust in me and trust yourself, come on, communicate
