(verse1)
girl, the only thing that matters in my life
Is that I'm there for you and treat you right
YOu got no right to treat me cold as ice
(bridge)
Oh, Oh, Oh, girl
As long as I been givin' my love to you
You should be givin' me your love too, Oh
But you just keep on acting just like a fool
You know it ain't cool
(chorus)
Don't be cruel
Cause I would never be that cruel to you.
Ah no, oh, oh-oh
Ah don't be cruel
Cause girl you need to change your attitude
Ah, no, oh, oh-oh
Don't be cruel.
Man we used to hang out tough
Just hanging around
Just a true love affair that could never be found
I gave you my heart and I gave you my mind
But a true love affair we could never find
I tell all the time that I want you Jackie
I want you more than human eyes could see
Now you know my name
Now you know the game
You wanna be with me you gotta be the same
way that another girl would be
and if you wanna be with me.
Girl I work so hard for you from nine to five
So that can buy you all the finer things in life
YOu got no right to treat me cold as ice.
