Oh, I can't stand another heart-ache
Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wits end
You say your love is bona fide, but that don't coincide
With the things that you do, 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
Ba-by, you gotta be cruel to be kind
Well I do my best to understand you (it)
But you still mystify, and I wanna know why
I pick myself up, off the ground
To have you knock me back down, again and again
When I ask you to explain - you say
RIDE - ---
Well I do my best ...
