You know I can be found sitting home all alone
If you can't come around at least please telephone
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Well baby, if I made you mad something that I might have said
Please just forget the past the future looks bright ahead
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Well I don't want no other lover
Baby it's just you I'm dreaming of
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Ah let's go to a preacher and let us say I do
Then you'll know you have me and I'll know I got you
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Well I don't need no other lover
Baby it's just you I'm dreaming of
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Well I don't want no other lover
Baby it's just you I'm dreaming of
