[Verse 1]
I'm just setting, I'm just setting a trap
And I'm not pulling, no, I'm not pulling for you
You're just pulling at me, I'm not a betting man
But this is a sure thing, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bada-ba

[Verse 2]
I've been to Tokyo and to South Africa
So many places (woo!), that you might say I've seen it all
But my favorite place is the warm embrace
Of holding your hair back in a bathroom stall

[Pre-Chorus]
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

[Chorus]
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth, so bittersweet (Woo-hoo-hoo!)

[Post-Chorus]
I guess that is how it's got to be
I guess that is how it's got to be
[Verse 3]
All that hate is gonna burn you up
It keeps me warm at night, warmer than anyone
I think how many drinks I've had, no more in either hand
I'm slurring on purpose, and it's certainly worth it, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth, so bittersweet (Woo-hoo-hoo!)

[Post-Chorus]
I guess that is how it's got to be
I guess that is how it's got to be
I guess that is how it's got to be

[Bridge]
You and me, another proverbial tree
It's such a mystery why you're here (But I can't live without you)
And you became as clear as cellophane
My voice of reasoning
I don't think I can take the way
You make me out to be

[Verse 4]
I'm just setting, I'm just setting a trap
And I'm not pulling, no, I'm not pulling for you (Woo!)
[Chorus]
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you, I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth, so bittersweet
It feels like we're pulling teeth, so bittersweet
It feels like we're pulling teeth, so bittersweet
(Ba-ba-ba-bitter, bitter all the time)
