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
  Poison in everything you said
  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
  Poison in everything you said
  Don't you, don't you
  Wonder what difference does it make....Either way
  Were you ever kind, were you always cruel?
  Who's 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?
  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
  Poison in everything you said
  Don't you, don't you?
  Wonder what difference does it make......Either way [2x]
