don't be cruel

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

ohhhh

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

cuz' i would never be that cruel to you

a no

oh a nooo

don't be cruel

girl you need to change your attitude

a no

oh

don't be cruel

hey yo cutie what's up with this attitude?

i thought i was bein' 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 9 to 5

so you could have the finer things in life

since you're the kind that's never satisfied

ohhhh

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

cuz' i would never be that cruel to you

a no

oh a nooo

don't be cruel

girl you need to change your attitude

a no

oh

don't be cruel

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 12 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 troop-trooper aiming for the top

and with you by my side big dollars i'll clock

ohhhh

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

don't be cruel. a no

oh

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 can let you go

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

roll to the fact that i want you jackie

i want you more than human eyes can see

but you had to start illin'

tryin' to make a killin'

though about the dollars i make

and you were willin'

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 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

cuz' i would never be that cruel to you
