This Bitter Earth in Aretha Franklin

This bitter, bitter earth
What fruit it bears
What good is love
That no one, wants to shares
And if my life, my life is like the dust
That hides the glow of a rose
Tell me what good am i
Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven only knows

Ooooh, this, this bitter earth
Oh i found out it can be.. be so... be so cold
Today you're young
And before you know it too soon, you've grown old
But while a voice within me cries
Someone, someone may answer my call

And then this bitter earth
This bitter, bitter earth
May not, may not be so bitter

While a voice, while this voice within me cries
Someone, someone may answer my call
And this, this bitter earth
This real caller
Mmmmm, may not be so bitter after all
Mmmmmmm...
