It’s Better to Be Cruel Than Be Kind Lyrics by Alvin Stardust

Rock with Alvin

1975

Darling do you really love me
Or is someone else on your mind
If you wanna go, won't you please let me know
Cos its better to be cruel than be kind
Maybe you don't wanna hurt me
But I'm not a fool, I'm not blind
So if there's a doubt, in your heart – let it out
Cos its better to be cruel than be kind
Something's been wrong for a long time
Ooh honey – you've changed – and it shows
Don't let it wait, till your love turns to hate
I'll get by – if I must – on my own
But I won't deny I'll still love you
And my love will last for all time
But if your love is dead
Then I'd rather you said
Cos it's better to be cruel than be kind
Something's been wrong for a long time
Ooh honey – you've changed – and it shows
Don't let it wait, till your love turns to hate
I'll get by – if I must – on my own
But I won't deny I'll still love you
Oh and my love will last for all time
But if your love is dead
Then I'd rather you said
Cos it's better to be cruel than be kind
But if your love is dead
Then I'd rather you said
Cos it's better to be cruel than be ….kind
