Cruel To Be Kind lyrics by Nick Lowe

CRUEL TO BE KIND

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
bona fide, but that don't
coincide with the things
that you do and when I
ask you to be nice
You say you've 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,
gotta be cruel to be kind

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 and when
I ask you to explain
You say, you've 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
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 and when
I ask you to explain
You say, you've 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

Cruel to be kind
in the right measure
Cruel to be kind
it's a very very very
good sign
Cruel to be kind
means that I love you
Baby,
you gotta be cruel to be kind

Cruel to be kind
in the right measure
Cruel to be kind
it's a very very very
good sign
Cruel to be kind
means that I love you
Baby,
you gotta be cruel to be kind

Cruel to be kind
in the right measure
Cruel to be kind
it's a very very very
good sign
Cruel to be kind
means that I love you
Baby,
you gotta be cruel to be kind
