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're doing
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 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

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
(You gotta be cruel)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

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

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
(You gotta be cruel)

Cruel to be kind in the right measure
(Cruel to be kind)
Cruel to be kind it's a very, very, very good sign
(Cruel to be kind)
Cruel to be kind means that I love you
Baby, you gotta be cruel to be kind
