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

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 actin' just like a fool
You know it ain't cool

Uh, don't be cruel
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you
Oh no, oh, oh no
Uh, don't be cruel
Girl, you need to change your attitude
Oh no, oh, uh, 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

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 actin' just like a fool
You know it ain't cool

Uh, don't be cruel
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you
Oh no, oh, oh no
Uh, don't be cruel
Girl, you need to change your attitude
Oh no, oh, uh, 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 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 troop-trooper aiming for the top
And with you by my side, big dollars I will clock

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 actin' just like a fool
You know it ain't cool, it just ain't cool, oh
Uh, don't be cruel

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
'Cause 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'
Thought 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

Uh, 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, baby)
Oh no, oh, oh no
Uh, don't be cruel (don't be, don't be)
Oh girl, you need to change your attitude (you need to change it)
Oh no, oh, uh, don't be cruel (oh-oh-oh, don't be, don't be)
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you (don't be, don't be, baby)
Oh no, oh, oh no
Uh, don't be cruel (don't be, don't be)
Oh girl, you need to change your attitude (no, no)
Oh no, oh

We used to hang out tough, just kickin' around

But a true love affair we could never find

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

Uh, don't be cruel (cruel)
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you (oh baby, baby)
Oh no, oh, oh no (baby, baby, baby)
Uh, don't be cruel (don't be, don't be)
Girl, you need to change your attitude (don't be, don't be, baby)
