Bitter To Swallow

(album: Creatures Of Leisure - 1983)

I shouldn't complain
I've had a good time
But why should good times have to end?

Another contender's hanging off your arm
He's easy to look at
He's got buckets of charm
That sort of man could do me a lot of harm
How I wish I was him

But still, the pill is bitter to swallow
The real world is a bit too hard to take
And I know, when I go, you're not gonna follow
Why should you?
But jealousy is so had to shake

I watch TV, smoke cigarettes
The more that you cry, you know the wetter you get
The thoughts that I think
They will be bitter and strong
Like the coffee you get in motels
It's not that I want a glory box, a trousseau,
Or the hear the sound of wedding bells

But still, the pill is bitter to swallow
The real world is a bit too hard to take
And I know, when I go, you're not gonna follow
Why should you?
But jealousy is so had to shake

What I hear, I won't believe
Hope my eyes might deceive

I shouldn't complain
I've had a good time
But why should good times have to end?

Another contender's hanging off your arm
He's easy to look at
He's got buckets of charm
That sort of man could do me a lot of harm
How I wish I was him

But still, the pill is bitter to swallow
The real world is a bit too hard to take
And I know, when I go, you're not gonna follow
Why should you?
But jealousy is so had to shake

Bitter to swallow
Too bitter to swallow
Bitter to swallow
Too bitter to swallow
Bitter to swallow
Bitter to swallow
Bitter to swallow
Bitter to swallow
