Lyrics
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're doing
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
(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 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'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
(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 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'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
(You've gotta be cruel)
You've gotta be cruel to be kind
(Cruel to be kind)
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 you, baby
(You've gotta be cruel)
You've gotta be cruel to be kind
