Kindness Can Be Cruel

If I give my heart
 It can't be taken away
 I once met a man who met a man
 Who once met a woman
 And he said
 The one man I meet
 Will meet with his undoing
 Like a thoroughbred horse
 Without remorse
 Acting like a mule
 I'll carry you baby
 Kindness can be cruel
 I heard of a man who heard of a man
 Who'd heard from a woman
 Saying
 I can't hear what I'm hearing
 But I hear it's your undoing
 When carpenters hammer
 And chisel your glamour
 I will lend you a tool
 And carve sculpture
 Kindness can be cruel
 Man I knew a man who knew a man
 Who'd once loved a woman
 And she said
 Man I wouldn't know that man
 Knowing what I know he's doing
 My best friends
 Live for their own ends
 I'd take your bullet in a duel
 Better I bleed
 Kindness can be cruel
