| Oh, I can’t take another heartache
|
| Though you say you’re my friend, I’m at my wit’s 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 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, you 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 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, you 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 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, you gotta be cruel to be kind |
