Cruel To Be Kind Lyrics - Labour Of Lust - Nick Lowe

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 do 

And when I ask you to be nice, you say 

You've 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've gotta be cruel) 

You've gotta be cruel to be kind

Well, I do my best to understand, dear 

But you still mystify 

And I want to 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've 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've gotta be cruel) 

You've gotta be cruel to be kind 

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
