Babe I'm sorry but I just can't stand the pain  
If you're leaving baby,  
Let me say one last thing  
You tell me I don't care  
But you know it just ain't true  
I got news  
That I'm still in love with you  
 
Girl, haven't you been around me  
Long enough to know  
Oh, that I need your love  
And I won't let go  
 
[Chorus] 
Oh, you don't have to be cruel to be kind  
You break my heart you hurt me so  
Kick me out because I ain't leaving  
Oh, you don't have to be cruel to be kind  
I'm feeling that you got me wrong  
All I want is you back where you belong  
 
Yeah, yeah, yeah  
 
Forget about the things  
That we could and should have done  
'Cause it's not too late, no no  
Ain't the best still yet to come  
What we have is a chance to start over  
And make it anew  
So trust what you feel  
Don't hide from what's real  
Every word I say is real  
 
Girl, haven't I told you this a thousand times before  
Oh, that I don't want you going through that door  
 
[Repeat Chorus] 
 
No contest  
(I'm telling you yeah)  
No question  
('Cause I need you)  
Believe me, I ain't leaving  
No contest  
(I'm telling you girl)  
No question  
('Cause I need you, yeah)  
Believe me, I ain't leaving  
 
You don't have to be cruel to be kind  
You break my heart you hurt me so  
Kick me out because I ain't leaving  
Oh, why must you be cruel to be kind  
I'm feeling that you got me wrong  
All I want is you back yeah yeah  
 
[Repeat Chorus] 
 
Baby don't do the things you do  
Baby don't hurt me like you do  
Baby don't hurt me, hurt me  
 
Don't go..........
