Sweet And Bitter by The Beach Boys Lyrics

[Verse]
Endlessly I've dreamed of love and its fever
And how it could bring such a change through the years
Now that it's all real, nowhere to run
We must make the best of the things that we've done

Sittin' 'round thinkin' 'bout it rips my soul
It drives me to the bitter end, you know
Glad that it's over and love didn't last
I'll think of the future, the heck with the past

[Chorus]
And the words don't come from the heart of me, girl
We can't go on make believin'
We're still in love, can't you see
It's meant to be

[Verse]
Love was a sweet dream - I woke, it was gone
And then came the bad times, on and on
If that's how it must be, I don't feel so bad
And I'll count your love as the worst that I've had
[Chorus]
And the words don't come from the heart of me, girl
We can't go on make believin'
We're still in love, can't you see
It's meant to be

[Verse]
Sweet and bitter ways are not often wrong
When one's for another it can't be done
I followed a dream and it took me away
Away from love's fever we caught yesterday

[Chorus]
And the words don't come from the heart of me, girl
We can't go on make believin'
We're still in love, can't you see
It's meant to be

[Chorus - Outro]
And the words don't come from the heart of me, girl
We can't go on make believin'
And the words don't come from the heart of me, girl
We can't go on make believin'
