It's a Bitter Pill to Swallow

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
