Cruel to be Kind - Nick Lowe/Lazlo Bane

  

Cruel to be Kind

Oh, I can't take another heartache

Though you say, oh 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've got to 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, got to be cruel, you got to be cruel to be kind 

Well, I do my best to understand, dear

But you still mystify and I want to 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 got to be

(CHORUS)

Well, I do my best to understand, dear

But you still mystify and I want to 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 got to be

(CHORUS)
