I recently came across the lyrics to this 1991 Stevie Nicks song written by Jon Bon Jovi and Billy Falcon. As I read the lyrics I couldn’t help but wonder whether or not the “it” referred to in the song might be addiction.
Sometimes It’s A Bitch
Well I’ve run through rainbows and castles of candy
I cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner’s been pleasure . . . my partner’s been pain
There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
And dark desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands . . . down on my knees
Sometimes it’s a bitch . . . sometimes it’s a breeze
Sometimes love’s blind . . . and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it’s roses . . . and, sometimes it’s weeds
Sometimes it’s a bitch . . . sometimes it’s a breeze
I’ve reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I’ve laid down with love and I woke up with lies
What’s it all worth only the heart can measure
It’s not what’s in the mirror . . . but what’s left inside
Sometimes it’s a bitch . . . sometimes it’s a breeze
Sometimes love’s blind . . . and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it’s roses . . . and, sometimes it’s weeds
Sometimes it’s a bitch . . . sometimes it’s a breeze
You gotta take it as it comes
Sometimes it don’t come easy
I’ve run through rainbows and castles of candy
And I’ve cried a river of tears from the pain
I tried to dance with what life had to hand me
And if I could . . . I’d do it all over again
Sometimes it’s a bitch . . . sometimes it’s a breeze
Sometimes love’s blind . . . and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it’s roses . . . and, sometimes it’s weeds
Sometimes the picture just ain’t what it seems
You get what you want . . . but it’s not what you need
Sometimes it’s a bitch . . . sometimes . . . it’s a breeze
