The Cowsills - Bitter Jest Lyrics

The Cowsills Lyrics

"Bitter Jest"

When I wasn't lookin' babe
Fell in love with you
You said you couldn't make it alone and you needed me too
Now the road you're on is turning
Round a different bend
And when I said when I'd follow you
I never thought it would end

And now the days are longer, nights are colder without you
There was a time I was meant for you
I tried my best but love played me a bitter jest

Love has made me miss you more
Than I should have did
And love has made a fool out of me
And you don't care

Well why the empty silence?
Why the painful lies?
Now I know you love someone else
I'm taking it hard tonight

And now the days are longer, nights are colder without you
There was a time I was meant for you
I tried my best but love played me a bitter jest

When I wasn't lookin' babe
Fell in love with you
Now I know you didn't need me
You had to have someone new

And now the days are longer, nights are colder without you
There was a time I was meant for you
I tried my best but love played me a bitter jest

Love played me a bitter jest
Love played me a bitter jest
Love played me a bitter jest
Love played me a bitter jest
Love played me a bitter jest
