KANYE WEST LYRICS - Bittersweet Poetry

"Bittersweet Poetry"

(feat. John Mayer)



[Chorus]

[John Mayer:]

Bittersweet

You're gonna be the death of me

I don't want you, but I need you

I love you and hate you at the very same time

Bittersweet



[Verse 1:]

See what I want so much, shit never hurt this bad

Never did this before, that's what the virgin says

We've been generally warned, that's what the surgeon says

God talk to me now, this is an emergency

And she claim she only with me for the currency

You cut me deep bitch, cut me like surgery

And I was too proud to admit that it was hurting me

I'd never do that to you, at least purposely

We breaking up again, we making up again

But we don't love no more, I guess we fucking then

Have you ever felt you ever want to kill her?

And you mix them emotions with tequila

And you mix that with a little bad advice

On one of those bad nights, ya'll have a bad fight

And you talking 'bout her family, her aunts and shit

And she say "Motherfucker, yo momma's a bitch!"

You know, domestic drama and shit, all that attitude

I'll never hit a girl, but I'll shake the shit outta you!

But I'mma be the bigger man, Big Pimpin' like Jiggaman

Oh I guess I figure it's...



[Chorus]



[Verse 2:]

See what I want so much, shit never hurt this bad

Never did this before, that's what the virgin says

We've been generally warned, that's what the surgeon says

God talk to me now, this is an emergency

And my nigga said I shouldn't let it worry me

I need to focus on the girls we getting currently

But I been thinking and it got me back to sinking and

This relationship it even got me back to drinking all this

Hennessy

It's gonna be the death of me

And I always thought that you having our child was our destiny

But I can't even vibe with you sexually

Cuz every time I would try, you would question me

Saying "You fucking them girls, disrespecting me?

You don't see how ya lies is affecting me.

You don't see how our life was supposed to be.

And I never let a nigga get that close to me.

And you ain't cracked up to what you was supposed to be.

You always gone, you'll always be where them hoes'll be."

And this the first time she ever spilled her soul to me



[Chorus]

[Kanye:]

I fucked up and I know it g

I guess it's bittersweet poetry



[Bridge x2]

See what I want so much, shit never hurt this bad

Never did this before, that's what the virgin says

We've been generally warned, that's what the surgeon says

God talk to me now, this is an emergency



[Chorus]
