Bitter-Sweet

@

Well this is such

A sad affair

I've opened up my heart

So many times

But on now it's closed

@

Oh my dear

Every salted tear

It wrings

Bitter-Sweet applause

@

But when the show is in full swing

Every once in a while

High stepping chorus lines

Mean I'm forgetting

Mein lullaby - liebchen

@

How rich in contrast

Love can be

Sometimes I'm quite amused

To see it twist and turn

To taste - both sweet and dry

@

There vintage years!

Lovers you consume, my friend

As others their wine

@

Nein - das ist hicht

Das ende det welt

Gestrandel on leben und kunst

Und das spiel geht weiter

Wie man weiss

Noch viele schonste ... wiedersehn

@

And now, as you turn to leave

You try to force a smile -

As if to compensate -

Then you break down and cry@

A Really Good Time

@

You've heard enough

Of the blues and stuff

You're pretty swell now

'Cos you're pretty tough

But I don't have to tell you

How hard it can be to get by

@

You never bothered

About anyone else

You're well educated

With no common sense

But love - that's one thing

You really need to get by

@

All your troubles

Come from yourself

Nobody hurts you

- They don't care

Just as long as you show them

A really good time

@

All the things

You used to do

A trip to the movies

A drink or two

They don't satisfy you

They don't tell you@anything new

@

You know I don't talk much

Except to myself

'Cos I've not much to say

And there's nobody else

Who's ready and willing

And able to know me - I guess

@

Listen to me

I'm not finished yet

There's something to tell  you

That I can't forget

Just have a really good time

@

There's a girl

I used to know

Her face is her fortune

She's got a heart of gold

She never goes out much

But boy - when she does

Then you know

@

She's got no money

Well, maybe a dime

But she knows what she's worth

And that's reason why

She's gonna make it

She got what it takes

You'll appreciate that

She's probably late

But I know

And you know

We all know

She'll have a really good time
