(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant)

Kill him with kindness, spoil him with love.

Girls if your love life is failing
If your man don't do like he should
I've got an old fashioned answer
Believe me it works pretty good.

When he gets mean and sarcastic
And salty as an old country ham
Follow my rules that I give you
And a lion will turn into a lamb.

Kill him with kindness, spoil him with love
Handle him gently with a soft velvet glove
Give him the kisses that he's thinking of
Kill him with kindness, spoil him with love.

Girls treat your man like a baby
Some cradlem some cuddle, some toys
Beneath all that swagger and bluster
He's nothing but a little old boy.

And when you want some little do dad
Some trifle like a new diamond ring
Practice what I am preaching
You'll see that it don't hurt a thing.

Kill him with kindness spoil him with love
Handle him gently with a soft velvet glove
Give him the kisses that he's thinking of
Kill him with kindness, spoil him with love.

Kill him with kindness spoil him with love...
