I've been known to love more
C + Riff 1 Asus2 Em7sus4
Than one person oh and I've been shown that
Bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes
Don't dream of answers
Cause you know I've none to give
We move like dancers
Stepping on each other to live
And bouncin' hard
We're both animals in the yard
And there's no healin' broken feelin'
There's no denyin' that bein kind
Can hurt someone sometimes
Oh there's no denyin' oh lord there's no denyin'
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes
Repeat and fade
