Bitter Lemon - Jeremy Spencer

You’ve been sitting here, pretty baby

Crying by the hour

The life has handed you a lemon

And it’s turned out pretty sour

Ev’rybody’s heard your reasons

Why you couldn’t quite make the grade

It’s time to take that bitter lemon

Squeeze it in a sweet lemonade

You’ve been crying on the shoulders

Of family, friends and foe

Who’ve taken the time to listen

To your sad sad tale of war

Ev’rybody’s heard your reasons

Why you couldn’t quite make the grade

It’s time to take that bitter lemon

Squeeze it in a sweet lemonade

Now I’m coming to the conclusion

The onus is on you

To take those shattered dreams

And make one of them come true

Ev’rybody’s heard your reasons, baby

Why you couldn’t quite make the grade

Take that bitter lemon

Squeeze it in a sweet lemonade
