Be Kind to Me Lyrics by Michael Hurley

Armchair Boogie

1971

[Verse 1]
Told you once and I told you twice
Why be mean when you can be nice?
Come on, be kind to me
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 2]
I hardly feel like a mustard seed
‘Cause your love is what I need
Come on, be kind to me
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 3]
I’m the ace of hearts and she’s my queen
The best old girl you ever seen
Come on, be kind to me
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 4]
I told you, child, when you were sixteen
I wanted you, girl, to be my queen
Come on, be kind to me
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 5]
A bullfrog sitting on a lily pond
And I was holding her in my arm
Come on, be kind to me
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 6]
I call you on the telephone
Tell me why you’re never home
Come on, be kind to me
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Outro]
Come on, be kind to me
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
