Kindness Can Be Cruel Lyrics - Singles - Mary Fahl

If I give my heart 

It can't be taken away 

I once met a man who met a man 

Who once met a woman 

And he said 

The one man I meet 

Will meet with his undoing 

Like a thoroughbred horse 

Without remorse 

Acting like a mule 

I'll carry you baby 

Kindness can be cruel 

I heard of a man who heard of a man 

Who'd heard from a woman 

Saying 

I can't hear what I'm hearing 

But I hear it's your undoing 

When carpenters hammer 

And chisel your glamour 

I will lend you a tool 

And carve sculpture 

Kindness can be cruel 

Man I knew a man who knew a man 

Who'd once loved a woman 

And she said 

Man I wouldn't know that man 

Knowing what I know he's doing 

My best friends 

Live for their own ends 

I'd take your bullet in a duel 

Better I bleed 

Kindness can be cruel
