Bitter Honey - Jackie DeShannon

I should have known

You would treat me this way

I should have known

I should’ve stayed alone

Now, if I’d just used my head

I’d have sent you away

If only somehow

I knew what I know now

Your love is bitter honey

Sweet and sour

Bitter honey

A sometimes thing

Bitter honey

I know your power

I asked you to leave

But I never let you

I learned to forgive

But not forget you

It must be love

That has kept me this way

It made me your slave

It made me behave

Oh, it’s not love at its best

But it could be some day

I’ll wait and I’ll see

'Cause you’re worth it to me

Your love is bitter honey

Sweet and sour

Bitter honey

A sometimes thing

Bitter honey

I know your power

I asked you to leave

But I never let you

I learned to forgive

But I can’t forget you

Bitter honey

Sweet, sweet and sour

Bitter honey

A sometimes thing

Bitter honey

I know your power

I asked you to leave

But I never let you

I’m gonna forgive

But not forget you

Bitter honey

Sweet and sour

Bitter honey

A sometimes thing

Bitter honey

I know your power
