Cute & Cruel Lyrics
[Chorus: Tove Lo]
Love can be cute and cruel, love is an animal
Love can be weak and strong, it's how you break your heart
Love is a feeling, love is the meaning
Love can forgive a lot, it's why we go on at all
[Verse 1: Tove Lo]
What is love? How do you know?
Is it the way that all my feelings get blown up?
Is it real? Or delusional?
To want it powerful, but never lose control?
[Pre-Chorus: Tove Lo]
Stand in a crowd, the people are loud
But we got our own dimension
I know you know and you know I know
We both got the same intention
Take in the room, the people go "poof"
And there's only us
Wantin' my life to be this wild
Is that real love?
[Chorus: Tove Lo]
Love can be cute and cruel, love is an animal
Love can be weak and strong, it's how you break your heart
Love is a feeling, love is the meaning
Love can forgive a lot, it's why we go on at all
[Verse 2: First Aid Kit]
What is true when I'm in pain?
When I get destructive and I ruin things again?
Do you stay? Or is it all on me?
To fix the curve on how love ends statistically?
[Pre-Chorus: Tove Lo, All]
Stand in a crowd, the people are loud
But we got our own dimension
I know you know and you know I know
We both got the same intention
Take in the room, the people go "poof"
And there's only us
Wantin' my life to be this wild
Is that real love?
[Chorus: Tove Lo & First Aid Kit]
Love can be cute and cruel, love is an animal
Love can be weak and strong, it's how you break your heart
Love is a feeling, love is the meaning
Love can forgive a lot, it's why we go on at all
[Bridge: Tove Lo, First Aid Kit, All]
Stand in a broken past (Stand in a broken past)
Our feelings out on the floor (Feelings out on the floor)
How do we heal from that?
We got to let it go, ooh, ooh
[Chorus: All, Tove Lo, First Aid Kit]
Yeah, love can be cute and cruel, love is an animal
Love can be weak and strong, it's how you break your heart
Love is a feeling, love is the meaning
Love can forgive a lot, it's why we go on at all
Love can be cute and cruel, love is an animal
Love can be weak and strong, it's how you break your heart
Love is a feeling, love is the meaning
Love can forgive a lot, it's why we go on at all
[Outro]
(Love, love, love)

What did Tove say about collaborating with First Aid Kit?
I think because it feels like such a turn on the record, I wanted to lean into that. I’ve been a fan of them for forever. I know them personally and I think I was just like, ‘Who do I hear on this song? I feel like it’d be good to add someone else’s flavour on this.’ I’m just very, very happy it wor...
What did Tove Lo say about "Cute & Cruel"?
This is my sunset song. It’s about accepting what love does to you as a human being. I wrote this with Elvira, who is one of my favorite producers in Sweden. She and I really click. There’s an emotional sweetness to it, a tenderness. This folksy, cinematic sound was new for me, so I wanted to bring...
