Gladys Knight This Bitter Earth
This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears?
What good is love, love?
That no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
That hides the glow of a rose
What good am I?
Heaven only knows
Ooh, this bitter earth
Well, can be so cold
On this day you're young
Too soon you're old
But while a voice within me cries
Someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth, ooh
May not be so bitter after all
This bitter earth
Can be so cold
Today you're young, young
Too soon, too old
I said, this bitter earth
Can be so cold
Today you're young, so young
Before you know it, you're growing old
While a voice within me cries
Someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth, ooh
May not be so bitter, so bitter after all
This bitter earth
