Song lyrics
Oh I can't take another heartache
Though you say you're my friend
I'm at my wits 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 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)
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 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)
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 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)
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)
You gotta be cruel to be kind

TO ALL YOU YOUNG guys(not, girls),I CANNOT OVERSTATE THIS POINT.

UNFORTUNATELY, FOR MYSELF, I FOUND THIS TRUTH OUT A LITTLE LATE IN LIFE,HOWEVER,YOU NEED TO BE TOLD THIS,AND,TO ACCEPT THAT IT IS TRUE.

REMEMBER........"in the right measure".

WARNING: WHEN YOU LOVE A WOMAN,IT'S EASY TO MISTAKENLY OVERDO IT.

BEWARE: HER CONTEMPT FOR YOU WILL COME OUT AS IF SHE WERE A WITCH.
SERIOUSLY,BEWARE,TAKE IT EASY.
