1-oh i can't take another heartache
though you say your my freind, i'm at my wits end
you say your is bonified, but that don't coinside
with the things that you do
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 (baby)
(you gotta be cruel) you gotta be cruel to be kind
2-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
when i ask you to explain, you say
(chorus)
oh
2-
(chorus)
cruel to be kind - in the right measure
cruel to be kind - well it's a very, very, very good sign
cruel to be kind - means that i love you baby (baby)
(you gotta be cruel) gotta be cruel to be kind
