You were almost kind, you were almost true
Don't let me see that other side of you
You have learned in time that you must be cruel
I'll have to wait to get the best of youPoison in everything you say
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make?
Either wayYou were almost kind, you were almost true
Why give away that other side of you?
Happens every time so it must be true
Step on a kid he'll grow up hating youPoison in every thing you say
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make?
Either wayWere you ever kind? Were you always cruel?
Who's ever seen that other side of you?
(Either way)
Happens every time so it must be true
