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 you
CHORUS:
Poisoning every word you say
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make?
Either way
You 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 you
CHORUS:
Poisoning every word you say
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make?
Either way
Were you ever kind?
Were you always cruel?
Who has ever seen that other side of you?
Happened every time
So it must be true
Where did you learn it's either him or you?
CHORUS:
Poison in everything you say
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make?
Either way
