You know I can be found
Sittin' home all alone
If you can't come around
Then please, please telephone
Now, don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Baby, you may be mad
For somethin' I might have said
Please, forget my past
The future looks bright ahead
Now, don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
I don't want another 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
Now, 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"
And then you know you'll have me
And I know that I'll have you
Now 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
