Cruel to Be Kind

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kay Hanley] 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 gotta be [Chorus: Kay Hanley, Greg McKenna] 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) You gotta be cruel to be kind [Verse 2: Kay Hanley] Well I do my best to understand dear But you still mystify, and I wanna 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 [Chorus: Kay Hanley, Greg McKenna] 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) You gotta be cruel to be kind [Instrumental break] [Bridge: Kay Hanley] Well I do my best to understand dear But you still mystify, and I wanna 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 [Chorus: Kay Hanley, Greg McKenna] 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) You gotta be cruel to be kind [Outro: Kay Hanley, Michael Eisenstein, Greg McKenna] (Cruel to be kind), in the right measure (Cruel to be kind), it's a very, very, very good sign (Cruel to be kind), means that I love you Baby (you gotta be cruel) You gotta be cruel to be kind
