Now the Bitter, Now the Sweet The Supremes

Now the bitter, now the sweet, halfway down life's busy street
Neither quickening the grueling pace, neither leading in the race

Oh yeah
In the race (Say it again)
In the race (In the race)
In the race (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Now the bitter, now the sweet, halfway down life's busy street
Hand in hand they always go, That is something all should know

(Oh, yeah)
All should know
(Whoo-oo-ooh, yeah)
All should know

Never pleasure without pain
Never loss apart from gain
Never joy, ooh no, apart from strife
(Don't you know that)
Each of these has its place in life

Place in life (Say it again now)
Place in life, place in life

Bitter, sweet
Bitter, sweet
