Told you once and I told you twice: Why be mean when you can be nice? Come on, be kind to me! Can't you see I'm in misery? I hardly feel like a mustard seed 'cause your love is all I need Come on, be kind to me! Can't you see I'm in misery? I'm the ace of hearts and she's my queen, The best old girl you ever seen Come on, be kind to me! Can't you see I'm in misery? I told you, child, when you were sixteen, I wanted you, girl, to be my queen Come on, be kind to me! Can't you see I'm in misery? I'm a bull frog sitting on a lily pond I was holding her in my arms Come on, be kind to me! Can't you see I'm in misery? I call you on the telephone Tell me why you’re never home Come on, be kind to me! Can't you see I'm in misery? Oh, can't you see I'm in misery?
