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 my 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 still you I'm thinking of


Mmmmm, 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
Oh baby it's still 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 still you I'm thinking of
