You've been sweet, you've been good
I've been better than you ever cook
I've been yours, you've been mine
Don't be kind
You got dreams, I've got plans
I'll be gone before you understand
I betrayed, you've been blind
Don't be kind
(Don't be kind)
Shoot it straight as an arrow
(Don't be kind)
To the quick, to the marrow
You can say what you've got on your mind
Don't be kind
We've been friends, we've been folks
We've been lovers clinging so close
We've believed but not this time
Don't be kind
When you hurt me, oh, you hurt me
Then you feel you must be nice
Well, it's bad enough to take it once
Being kind makes it twice
It's been great, it's been real
It's been soft as silk and tough as steel
You be yours and I'll be mine
Don't be kind
(Don't be kind)
Shoot it straight as an arrow
(Don't be kind)
To the quick, to the marrow
You can say what you've got on your mind
Don't be kind
Don't be kind
You can say what you got on your mind
(Don't be kind)
Shoot it straight as an arrow
(Don't be kind)
To the quick, to the marrow
You can say what you've got on your mind
Don't be kind
Don't be kind
You can say what you've got on your mind
Don't be kind
Don't be kind
You can say what you've got on your mind
Don't be kind
Don't be kind
