Don't Be Cruel (Otis Blackwell/Elvis Presley)


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

Baby, if I made you mad
for something I might have said
Please, let's forget the past,
the future looks bright ahead
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true

I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you 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

Why should we be apart?
I really love you baby, cross my heart

Let's walk up to the preacher
and let us say I do
Then you'll know you'll have me,
and I'll know that I'll have you
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true

I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of
