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
