(Verse 1) I gave you my heart, you gave me the thorn Left me so foolish, bewildered and worn My friends call me crazy, my mother says "child, Why do you chase someone so wicked and wild?" (Chorus) Oh, it’s a bitter sweet, bitter sweet thing To cry for a love that was gone in the spring Oh, it’s a bitter sweet, bitter sweet thing You stole all my gold and you left me the glass Oh, it’s a bitter sweet, bitter sweet thing I’m a fool for your heart, but this foolishness will pass! (Verse 2) I wear my red silk, I sip my champagne Trying to look pretty while hiding the pain You walk in the parlor with somebody new Tipping your hat like we’re strangers... oh, aren't you? (Chorus) Oh, it’s a bitter sweet, bitter sweet thing To cry for a love that was gone in the spring Oh, it’s a bitter sweet, bitter sweet thing You stole all my gold and you left me the glass Oh, it’s a bitter sweet, bitter sweet thing I’m a fool for your heart, but this foolishness will pass! (Bridge) I oughta be crying, I oughta be blue Instead I am swinging and laughing at you! 'Cause hearts may be broken and promises bend But a good jazz rhythm will stay to the end! (Chorus) Oh, it’s a bitter sweet, bitter sweet thing To cry for a love that was gone in the spring Oh, it’s a bitter sweet, bitter sweet thing You stole all my gold and you left me the glass Oh, it’s a bitter sweet, bitter sweet thing I’m a fool for your heart, but this foolishness will pass! (Outro) Oh, it’s a bitter sweet, bitter sweet thing... A fool for your heart! Yeah, this foolishness will pass...
