Kind Words (And A Real Good Heart) - Joan Armatrading

Doesn’t mean you get respect

Kind words and a real good heart

Doesn’t mean you get the best

It doesn’t mean they won’t get brutal

It doesn’t mean they won’t assault you

With a kind heart, with a kind heart

Bad guys sometime hard to find

'Cause they don’t all dress in black

Good guys sometime make mistake

I say don’t look, don’t look back

Be mindful how you get used up

You can’t always trust an honest man

Be mindful how you get used up

You can’t always trust an honest man

You gotta make your own beginning

Mark it down growing pains

With a kind heart, with a kind heart

Kind words and a real good heart

Doesn’t mean you get respect

Kind words and a real good heart

Doesn’t mean you get the best

It doesn’t mean the whole world loves you

It doesn’t mean more than it means

A kind heart, a kind heart, a kind heart, a kind heart

A kind heart, with kind heart, with a kind heart

Kind words and a real good heart

Doesn’t mean you get respect

Kind words and a real good heart

Doesn’t mean you get the best

Kind words and a real good heart

Doesn’t mean you get respect

Kind words and a real good heart

Doesn’t mean you get the best

Kind words and a real good heart

Doesn’t mean you get respect
