Lyrics Bitter Honey - Jackie DeShannon

Bitter Honey

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
