| / / / / | 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 coin - cide... 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 mea - sure,
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign,
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you, baby---------------------!
^ ^ (Babe, gotta be cruel!)
You gotta be cruel to be kind! | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
Well, I do my best to under... stand, 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 a - gain,
And when I ask you to ex - plain, you say...
You gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right mea - sure,
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign,
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you, baby---------------------!
^ ^ (Babe, gotta be cruel!)
You gotta be cruel to be kind! Oo, oo -oo ! Oo, oo, oo---!
