Don't Be Cruel

Uh
Ow

Girl, the only thing that matters in my life
Is that I'm down for you and treat you right
You got no cause to treat me cold as ice
Whoa, girl, as long as I've been giving my love to you
You should be giving me your love, too
But you just keep on actin' just like a fool
You know it ain't cool

Don't be cruel
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you
I know, oh, I know
Don't be cruel
Girl, you need to change your attitude
I know, oh, don't be cruel

Hey, yo, cutie, what's up with this attitude?
I thought that 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, ow
I treat you high post, but you play me close
And if I wanna 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
But you're the kind that's never satisfied

Whoa, girl, as long as I've been giving my heart to you

You should be giving me your heart, too
But you just keep on actin' just like a fool
You know it ain't cool

Don't be cruel
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you
I know, oh, I know
Don't be cruel
Girl, you need to change your attitude
I know, oh, don't be cruel

Fancy cars with 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, it's like a heart attack
I'm a real true trooper and with all this time
I want you by my side and getting down with all the time
Whoa, girl, as long as I've been giving my love to you

You should be giving me your love, too
But you just keep on actin' just like a fool
You know it ain't cool

It just ain't cool, ow

Don't be cruel
I know, oh, I know

We used to hang out tough, just kickin' 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
No, true, the fact that I want you, Jackie
I want you more than human eyes could 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, Bonnie B

With a bad attitude, I can't compete
Now you know my name, now I know the game
You wanna be with me, you gotta be the same way
That another girl would be, and if you wanna be with me

Don't be cruel (Don't be, don't be)
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you (Don't be, don't be)
I know, oh, I know
Don't be cruel
Girl, you need to change your attitude
