Cruel to Be Kind
Oh, I can't take another heartache
Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wits' end
You say your love is bona fide but that don't coincide with the things that you do
And when I ask you to be nice, you say
You've gotta be cruel to be kind in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind means that I love you, baby (babe you've gotta be cruel)
You've gotta be cruel to be kind
Well, I do my best to understand, dear but you still mystify
And I want to know why
I pick myself up off the ground to have you knock me back down again and again?
And when I ask you to explain, you say
You've gotta be cruel to be kind in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind means that I love you, baby (babe you've gotta be cruel)
You've gotta be cruel to be kind
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Well, I do my best to understand, dear but you still mystify
And I want to know why
I pick myself up off the ground to have you knock me back down again and again?
And when I ask you to explain, you say
You've gotta be cruel to be kind in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind means that I love you, baby (babe you've gotta be cruel)
You've gotta be cruel to be kind
(Cruel to be kind) oh, in the right measure
(Cruel to be kind) it's a very, very, very good sign
(Cruel to be kind) it means that I love ya, baby (Babe)
(You've gotta be cruel) you've gotta be cruel to be kind
(Cruel to be kind) oh, in the right measure
(Cruel to be kind) yes, it's a very, very, very good sign
(Cruel to be kind) it means that I love ya, baby (Babe)
(You've gotta be cruel) you've gotta be cruel to be kind
(Cruel to be kind) oh, in the right measure
(Cruel to be kind) yes, it's a very, very, very good sign
Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wits' end
You say your love is bona fide but that don't coincide with the things that you do
And when I ask you to be nice, you say
You've gotta be cruel to be kind in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind means that I love you, baby (babe you've gotta be cruel)
You've gotta be cruel to be kind
Well, I do my best to understand, dear but you still mystify
