Oh, I can't take another heartache
+
Though you say oh 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 you've got to be...
+
CHORUS:
+
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, got to be cruel, you got to 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 got to be...
+
CHORUS
+
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 got to be...
+
CHORUS
