Aretha Franklin — This Bitter Earth

[Verse] 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 glows of the rose Tell me what good am I Heaven, Heaven, Heaven, Heaven only knows Ooh, ooh, this, this bitter earth Well, I found out it can be, be so, be so cold Today, you're young And before you know it Too soon you've grown old [Bridge] 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 [Outro] While a voice within me cries While this voice within me cries Someone, someone may answer my call And this, this bitter earth This real cold earth Mmm, may not be so bitter after all, mmm
