Cruel to Be Kind(feat. Nick Lowe) - Wilco/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 bona fide

But that don't coincide

with the things that you do

And 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

Baby you gotta be cruel to be kind

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 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 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 well 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

Baby

You gotta be

Cruel to be kind in the right measure

Cruel to be kind

it's a very very very good sign

Cruel to be kind that means

that I love you

Baby Baby

Baby you gotta cruel to be kind
