Cruel to Be Kind

Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign
But that don't coincide with the things that you do
Cruel to be kind means that I love you
You gotta be
So, baby, you gotta be cruel
Baby, you gotta be cruel to be kind
Cruel to be kind it's a very, very, very good sign
Cruel to be kind in the right measure
Baby, you gotta be cruel
Baby, you gotta be cruel to be kind
I pick myself up off the ground
Cruel to be kind means that I love you
I do my best to understand, dear
And when I ask you to be nice, you say
You gotta be

Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign
But you still mystify and I want to know why
Cruel to be kind means that I love you
And when I ask you to explain, well, you say
And when I ask you to explain, well, you say
I pick myself up off the ground

You say your love is bona fide

Well, I do my best to understand, dear
Cruel to be kind that means that I love you
Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign
You gotta be
To have you knock me back down again and again
Cruel to be kind in the right measure
Cruel to be kind in the right measure

But you still mystify and I want to know why
To have you knock me back down again and again
You gotta be
Cruel to be kind in the right measure

Baby
