Intro

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

RIDE - ---

Verse 2

Well I do my best ...
