Cruel

Loving you has got to be the hardest
But I’d still lose myself in you
How can that much beauty be so heartless
But I don’t want no substitute
When you pulled up the black dress
Always driving me to madness
I know what I’m here for
Thinking bout what’s underneath
About what I got, I need it
I can’t take anymore
Don’t be so cruel
It’s killing me the way that you move
Don’t be so cruel
You’re dangerous, you know that it’s true
Why you gotta leave me suffering
Just to keep me coming back again
Don’t be so cruel
So cruel
You know how to keep me up and restless
Baby, you’re so devious
Sometimes it’s above the obsession
Cause I can never get enough
When you pulled up the black dress
Always driving me to madness
I know what I’m here for
Thinking bout what’s underneath
About what I’m got, I need it
I can’t take anymore
Don’t be so cruel
It’s killing me the way that you move
Don’t be so cruel
You’re dangerous, you know that it’s true
Why you gotta leave me suffering
Just to keep me coming back again
Don’t be so cruel
So cruel
I know, you know
I’m in, into you so deep (hm)
I come, you go
And so I can’t ever leave (oh)
I know, you know
I’m in, into you so deep (hm)
I come, you go
And so I can’t ever leave
Don’t be so cruel
It’s killing me the way that you move
(Killing me the way that you move)
Don’t be so cruel
You’re dangerous, you know that it’s true
(Dangerous you know that it’s true)
Why you gotta leave me suffering
Just to keep me coming back again
Don’t be so cruel
So cruel
