Lyrics

Be kind to me

Expressing a plea or desire for kindness

Be kind to me

Repetition emphasizes the request for kindness

Be kind to me

Continued emphasis on the plea for kindness

Oh baby and I'll show you the way

Suggesting reciprocity - kindness in exchange for something


Kindness is a virtue

Stating that kindness is a positive quality

Come on now babe

Encouraging the listener to embrace kindness

It won't hurt you to be

Asserting that being kind won't cause harm

A victim of kindness

Describing the listener as a beneficiary of kindness

No more hesitations

Advocating for an end to hesitations

We don't need no

Rejecting the need for explanations

Explanations this time

Emphasizing the avoidance of explanations this time

We'll leave them behind us

Committing to leaving past issues behind


While you play the martyr

Addressing someone playing the role of a martyr

You know you just

Pointing out that playing the martyr makes love difficult

make it harder for us

Highlighting the challenges posed by martyrdom

To love one another

Connecting martyrdom to difficulties in loving one another

So much indecision

Noting a presence of indecision

That don't mean you

Clarifying that indecision doesn't imply religious commitment

Got religion I think

Suggesting a future realization or understanding

You're gonna discover

Anticipating a discovery or realization


Be kind to me

Reiterating the initial plea for kindness
