Cruel To Be Kind Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - Letters To Cleo

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 bona fide 

But that don't coincide 

With the things that you're doing 

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 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 to be kind 

(You gotta be cruel) 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 

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 to be kind 

(You gotta be cruel) 

Cruel to be kind in the right measure 

(Cruel to be kind) 

Cruel to be kind it's a very, very, very good sign 

(Cruel to be kind) 

Cruel to be kind means that I love you 

Baby, you gotta be cruel to be kind
