Don't Be Cruel / Cruel Reprise
Uh
(Ow)
Do it
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, 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
Ah, don't be cruel
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you
Oh no, oh, oh no, ah, don't be cruel
Oh girl, you need to change your attitude
Oh no, ah, don't be cruel
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
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
Ah, don't be cruel
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you
Oh no, oh, oh no, ah, don't be cruel
Oh girl, you need to change your attitude
Oh no, ah, don't be cruel
From fancy cars to diamond rings
I 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, is like a heart attack
I'm a real troop trooper aiming for the top
And with you by my side, diggin' dollars outta crock
Oh, girl, as long as I've been giving my love to you
You will, 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 (ow)
Ah, 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 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 healin', tryna 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 the 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
Ah, 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 like that)
Oh no, oh, oh no, ah, don't be cruel (don't be, don't be)
Oh girl, you need to change your attitude (you need to change)
Oh no, oh, ah, don't be cruel (oh, don't be, don't be)
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you (don't be, don't be like that)
Oh no, oh, oh no, ah, don't be cruel (don't be, don't be)
Oh girl, you need to change your attitude (ah, no)
I know, 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
