Oh I can't take another heartache~Though you say your 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 gotta 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~(You gotta be cruel)~You gotta be cruel to be kind

* Well I do my best to understand dear~But your still mystified~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

[Chorus]

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...

[Repeat *]

[Chorus]
