Performed by 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 bonafide

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

And 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

Well, I do my best to understand dear

But you still mystify, and I wanna know why

I pick myself up off the ground

And 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
