Babe I'm sorry but I just can't stand the pain 

If you're leaving baby, 

Let me say one last thing 

You tell me I don't care 

But you know it just ain't true 

I got news 

That I'm still in love with you 



Girl, haven't you been around me 

Long enough to know 

Oh, that I need your love 

And I won't let go 



[Chorus]

Oh, you don't have to be cruel to be kind 

You break my heart you hurt me so 

Kick me out because I ain't leaving 

Oh, you don't have to be cruel to be kind 

I'm feeling that you got me wrong 

All I want is you back where you belong 



Yeah, yeah, yeah 



Forget about the things 

That we could and should have done 

'Cause it's not too late, no no 

Ain't the best still yet to come 

What we have is a chance to start over 

And make it anew 

So trust what you feel 

Don't hide from what's real 

Every word I say is real 



Girl, haven't I told you this a thousand times before 

Oh, that I don't want you going through that door 



[Repeat Chorus]



No contest 

(I'm telling you yeah) 

No question 

('Cause I need you) 

Believe me, I ain't leaving 

No contest 

(I'm telling you girl) 

No question 

('Cause I need you, yeah) 

Believe me, I ain't leaving 



You don't have to be cruel to be kind 

You break my heart you hurt me so 

Kick me out because I ain't leaving 

Oh, why must you be cruel to be kind 

I'm feeling that you got me wrong 

All I want is you back yeah yeah 



[Repeat Chorus]



Baby don't do the things you do 

Baby don't hurt me like you do 

Baby don't hurt me, hurt me 



Don't go..........
