(Ronnie Self - Dub Albritten)

Oh, the taste of life it gets bitter
But you can't give up, you can't be a quitter
You're wantin' no more, you gotta take another bite
Hmm, the taste of life.

I know a man didn't know what to do
I guess he bit off more than he can chew
He just sits around and looks all beat
You gotta take the bitter along with the sweet.

Oh, the taste of life it gets bitter
But you can't give up, you can't be a quitter
You're wantin' no more, you gotta take another bite
Hmm, the taste of life.

Oh, the taste of life it gets bitter
But you can't give up, you can't be a quitter
You're wantin' no more, you gotta take another bite
Hmm, the taste of life.

I met a woman had a recipe
How try it out made a mess of me
All of my love has gone to waste
And left me here with the bitter taste.

Oh the taste of life it gets bitter
But you can't give up, you can't be a quitter
You're wantin' no more, you gotta take another bite
Hmm, the taste of life...
