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 do And 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 (babe 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 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'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 (babe you've gotta be cruel) You've gotta be cruel to be kind (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh) 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'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 (babe you've gotta be cruel) You've gotta be cruel to be kind (Cruel to be kind) oh, 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 ya, baby (Babe) (You've gotta be cruel) you've gotta be cruel to be kind (Cruel to be kind) oh, in the right measure (Cruel to be kind) yes, it's a very, very, very good sign (Cruel to be kind) it means that I love ya, baby (Babe) (You've gotta be cruel) you've gotta be cruel to be kind (Cruel to be kind) oh, in the right measure (Cruel to be kind) yes, it's a very, very, very good sign
