Lyrics

[00:17.11] Oh, I can't take another heartache
[00:20.91] Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wits end
[00:24.85] You say your love is bona fide
[00:27.86] But that don't coincide with the things that you do
[00:33.04] And when I ask you to be nice, you say
[00:38.36] You gotta be
[00:39.29] Cruel to be kind in the right measure
[00:42.98] Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign
[00:46.29] Cruel to be kind means that I love you
[00:50.36] Baby, you gotta be cruel to be kind
[00:57.11]
[01:02.55] I do my best to understand, dear
[01:06.36] But you still mystify and I want to know why
[01:10.67] I pick myself up off the ground
[01:13.37] To have you knock me back down again and again
[01:18.74] And when I ask you to explain, well, you say
[01:23.93] You gotta be
[01:24.87] Cruel to be kind in the right measure
[01:28.43] Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign
[01:32.12] Cruel to be kind means that I love you
[01:35.75] Baby, you gotta be cruel to be kind
[01:43.81]
[02:05.18] Well, I do my best to understand, dear
[02:08.43] But you still mystify and I want to know why
[02:12.74] I pick myself up off the ground
[02:15.49] To have you knock me back down again and again
[02:20.86] And when I ask you to explain, well, you say
[02:25.99] You gotta be
[02:26.99] Cruel to be kind in the right measure
[02:30.49] Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign
[02:33.99] Cruel to be kind means that I love you
[02:37.87] Baby
[02:40.37] You gotta be
[02:41.74] Cruel to be kind in the right measure
[02:47.11] Cruel to be kind it's a very, very, very good sign
[02:51.43] Cruel to be kind that means that I love you
[02:54.43] Baby, you gotta be cruel
[02:58.24] So, baby, you gotta be cruel
[03:00.68] Said, baby, you gotta cruel to be kind
