Dont 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.
Well you know i can be found
Sitting all alone
If you can't come around
At least please telephone
But don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Baby, if i made you mad
For something i might have said
Please forget the past
The future's bright ahead
But don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby, it's just you i'm thinkin' of
Don't stop thinkin' of me
Don't make me feel this way
Come on over and love me
You know i want you to stay
But don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Let's walk up to the preacher
Let's say "hey, i do"
And then i know you'll want me
And you'll know i want you too
(chorus)
Why should we be apart?
Baby, you know i love you, cross my heart
