Lyrics:

Oh, I can't stand another heartache
Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wits end
You say your love is bona fide, but that don't coincide
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
Ba-by, you gotta be cruel to be kind



Well I do my best to understand you (it)
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

Well I do my best to understand you (it)
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
