Don't Be Kind

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 --- Don't Be Kind - John Denver
