Don't Be Cruel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You know I can be found (hey, hey)
Sitting home all alone (hey, hey)
But if you can't come around (hey, hey)
At least please telephone (hey, hey)
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
(To a heart that's true)
Baby, if I made you mad (hey, hey)
For something I might have said (hey, hey)
Please let's forget the past (hey, hey)
The future looks bright ahead (hey, hey)
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
(To a heart that's true)
I don't want no other love
Oh, baby, it's still you
I'm thinking of (I'm thinking of)
Don't stop thinking of me
Don't make me feel this way
Come on over here and love me
You know what I want you to say
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
(To a heart that's true)
Why should we be apart
I really love you, baby
Cross my heart (cross my heart)
Let's walk up to the preacher (hey, hey)
And let's say I do (hey, hey)
Then you'll know you'll have me (hey, hey)
And I'll know that I'll have you (hey, hey)
But don't be cruel to a heart that's true
(To a heart that's true)
Don't be cruel (don't be cruel)
No, no, to a heart that's true
(To a heart that's true)
Don't be cruel (don't be cruel)
No, no, to a heart that's true
(To a heart that's true)
Don't be cruel (don't be cruel)
No, no, to a heart that's true
