This Bitter Earth Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

This bitter, bitter earth
What fruit it bears?
What good is love
That no one wants to share?

And if my life, my life is like the dust
That haunts the glow of a rose
Tell me what good am I?
Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven only knows


Ooh, this, this bitter earth
Well, I found out can be, be so, be so cold
Today you′re young and before you know it
Too soon, you've grown old

But while a voice within me cries
Someone, someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth, this bitter, bitter earth
May not, may not be so bitter after all

While a voice, while this voice within me cries
Someone, someone may answer my call
And this, this bitter, this real cold earth
Mmm, may not be so bitter after all, mmm
