Don't Be Cruel lyrics

[Verse 1]

Girl, the only thing that matters in my life

Is that I'm down for you and treat you right

You've got no cause to treat me cold as ice

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh, girl, as long as I've been giving my love to you

You should be giving me your love too, oh

But you just keep on acting just like a fool

You know it ain't cool

[Chorus]

Don't be cruel, 'cause I would never be that cruel to you

Uh no, oh oh, no

Don't be cruel

Girl, you need to change your attitude

Uh no, oh, uh don't be cruel

[Verse 2]

Hey, yo, cutie what's up with this attitude?

I thought I was being real good to you

I treat you sweet, take you out at night

But you never say thanks, girl, that ain't right

I bought you diamonds even gave you pearls

I took you for a cruise all around the world

I treat you high-post but you play me close

And if I put a drink up, you won't even toast

Girl, I work so hard for you from nine to five

So you could have the finer things in life

Since you're the kind that's never satisfied

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh, girl, as long as I've been giving my heart to you

You should be giving me your heart too, oh

But you just keep on acting just like a fool

You know it ain't cool

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

From fancy cars to diamond rings

I've just about given you everything

There's really not much I won't do for you

I bought you twelve yellow roses and candy too

I like to be up front and never play the back

But the way you treat me girl is like a heart attack

I'm a real troop trooper aiming for the top

And with you by my side, d-dollars I will clock

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh, girl, as long as I've been giving my love to you

You should be giving me your love too, oh

But you just keep on acting just like a fool

You know it ain't cool

It just ain't cool (Hoo)

Don't be cruel

I know, oh

[Verse 4]

We used to hang out tough, just kicking around

We discovered a love that had never been found

You gave me your heart, I gave you my mind

But a true love affair we could never find

Although I want you bad I could let you go

'Cause there's a lot of girls out there that won't say no

Lo to the fact that I want you, Jackie

I want you more than human eyes can see

But you had to start illin', trying to make a killin'

Thought about the dollars I make and you were willing

To be with me, Bobby B

But with a bad attitude I can't compete

Now you know my name, now I know your game

You want to be with me you got to be the same way

That another girl would be, and if you wanna be with me

[Chorus]
