It’s a Bitter Pill to Swallow lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
My baby forgave me so much
Time and time and time again

[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 2]
But that's 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

[Pre-Chorus]
You wake up and you discover
What a great fool you have been
[Chorus]
'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

[Bridge]
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 alone
But if I could do it over
And would deliver my love to you warm
And on and on

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, darling, you forgave me so much
Time and time and time again

[Chorus]
'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
