Cruel To Be Kind — текст песни (Nick Lowe)

Oh, I can`t take another heartache,
Though you say you`re my friend, I`m at my wits` end!
You say you`re love is bona fide,
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 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 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 to be kind...
