"Cruel To Be Kind"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: You gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure,
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign Cruel to be kind, it means that I love you, Baby, you gotta be cruel to be kind. Why They're Nonsensical: Well, the title itself is contradictory (see the Literally Impossible song titles section), so each time he mentions it in the chorus (listed here), I think "What the (****)?!" Why does he want his other to be unkind in order to be the opposite? Doesn't make a whole lotta sense.

She won't call it quits Comments: OK, OK, Nick, your girl has some great physical and sexual qualities to her. The great 1979 album that features this song is so well crafted and witty and got high critical praise across the board. Ain't it better to boast about that?
