Don’t Take It Personal Lyrics

The time has come in my life for me to move on
And get on with my life, my life
Oh, but I don’t regret no
Every precious movement we spent were well spent

Don’t be sad, don’t be blue
You have your whole life ahead of you
Love was here, now it’s gone
So it’s time you keep moving on

Don’t take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Easy come easy go
Don’t take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Some good things come to an end

No blame, no shame. It was nice, but sometimes things do change
We change, but we can still be friends, be friends
Oh you girl, you have so much to offer to someone else in their life
If you reach out, yes you can, yes you can

Don’t be sad, don’t be blue
You have your whole life ahead of you
Love was here, now it’s gone
So it’s time you keep moving on
Don’t take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Easy come easy go
Don’t take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Some good things come to an end

So long, So long my love
It seems the time has come to go our seperate ways
Since we’re not going to be lovers anymore, let’s be friends

Don’t be sad, don’t be blue
You have your whole life ahead of you
Love was here, now it’s gone
So it’s time you keep moving on

Don’t take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Easy come easy go
Don’t take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Some good things come to an end

Don’t take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Easy come easy go
Don’t take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Some good things come to an end
