Dolly Parton, Michael McDonald - Bittersweet Lyrics

Is it time to say hello or say goodbye?
Couldn't count the countless times that we have tried
Do we try to try again or take defeat?
Either way, it's bittersweet

(We love each other, there's no question there)
No question there
(But hate each other when we don't fight fair)
We don't fight fair
(Lately there's more hating as our world shakes 'neath our feet)
To say the least, it's bittersweet

All the things we loved each other for at first, we now despise
(The passion and the tenderness now fade before our eyes)
We've tested all the waters, but have we gone too deep?
To say the least, it's bittersweet

Bittersweet, bittersweet
Separate the chaff from wheat
Is our love now obsolete?
Oh-oh, it's bittersweet
(There's more bitterness than sweetness)
(In the words that we now speak)
(Oh-oh, it's bittersweet) ooh, it's bittersweet

Is it time to say hello or say goodbye?
Oil and water, venom, honey, dark and light
(Is it time to say hello or say goodbye?)
(We're oil and water, venom, honey, dark and light)

Deep devotion (deep devotion), mixed emotion (mixed emotion)
A painful mix, indeed, (a painful mix, indeed)
(To say the least, it's bittersweet) it's bittersweet
Bittersweet, bittersweet

Standing on the edge now, do we go or stay?
Do we go? Do we stay?
(Will we live to regret it) will we
(If we just walk away?) If we just walk away?
It's a painful hard decision, but it's one that we must make

(Bittersweet)
(So bittersweet) it's bittersweet
(Bittersweet) oh, oh, it's bittersweet
(Oh, oh, bittersweet)
Bittersweet
Bittersweet
