Lyrics Sweet Bitter Love - Aretha Franklin

I talked to you today
We've loved each other for so long
In that special way
And if circumstances
Should keep us apart

I just want you to know
That you will remain
Forever
Here in my heart

Sweet, sweet bitter love
The taste still lingers
Going through my helpless fingers
You slipped away
Ooh, yes you did

Sweet, sweet bitter love
What joy you told me
What pain
You didn't mean to but you brought me
And so sure
Baby and so sure to stay

Our magic dreams have lost their spells
And where there
Where there was hope
Oh, there's an, an empty shell

Oh, sweet
My-my-my, my-my-my, my-my, bitter love
Why have you
Awaken
And then, then you forsaken
A trusting heart like mine
Whoa!

My magic
Oh, my magic dreams
They've all, they've all, all lost their spells
And where there
Where I had a little bit of hope
Yes sir, there is
Oh, look at me now, there is an empty shell

Oh, sweet
My-my-my, my-my-my, my-my, bitter love
Why have you awakened
And then, and then, and then, and then, and then you know
You have forsaken
A trusting heart
Yeah, like mine
A trusting heart like mine
I love you boy, yes I do
Heart like mine
