[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 bonafide
But that don't coincide
With the things that you do
And when I ask you to be nice
You say
[Verse 2]
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 3]
Well, I do my best to understand dear
But you still mystify
And I wanna know why
I pick myself back off the ground
To have you knock me back down
Again and again
And when I ask you to explain
You say
[Verse 4]
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, whoa whoa whoa
[Verse 5]
Well, I do my best to understand dear
But you still mystify
And I wanna know why
I pick myself back off the ground
To have you knock me back down
Again and again
And when I ask you to explain
Well you say
[Verse 6]
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 7]
No, in the right measure
Well it's a very, very, very good sign
It means that I love you, baby
I said, baby, baby
You gotta be cruel to be kind, ooh ooh ooh
