(Dennis/Young)



Babe I'm sorry but I just can't stand the pain

If you're leaving baby,

Let me say one last thing

You tell me I don't care

But you know it just ain't true

I got news

That I'm still in love with you



Girl, haven't you been around me

Long enough to know

Oh, that I need your love

And I won't let go



Chorus

Oh, you don't have to be cruel to be kind

You break my heart you hurt me so

Kick me out because I ain't leaving

Oh, you don't have to be cruel to be kind

I'm feeling that you got me wrong

All I want is you back where you belong



Yeah, yeah, yeah



Forget about the things

That we could and should have done

'Cause it's not too late, no no

Ain't the best still yet to come

What we have is a chance to start over

And make it anew

So trust what you feel

Don't hide from what's real

Every word I say is real



Girl, haven't I told you this a thousand times before

Oh, that I don't want you going through that door



Repeat Chorus



No contest

(I'm telling you yeah)

No question

('Cause I need you)

Believe me, I ain't leaving

No contest

(I'm telling you girl)

No question

('Cause I need you, yeah)

Believe me, I ain't leaving



You don't have to be cruel to be kind

You break my heart you hurt me so

Kick me out because I ain't leaving

Oh, why must you be cruel to be kind

I'm feeling that you got me wrong

All I want is you back yeah yeah



Repeat Chorus



Baby don't do the things you do

Baby don't hurt me like you do

Baby don't hurt me, hurt me



Don't go..........
