Cruel to Be Kind

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus repeat until fade] 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
