Song title: Don't be cruel
(Blackwell, Presley) by Elvis Presley (RCA Victor 47-6604)
Don't be cruel
You know I can be found
Sittin' 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
Somethin' I might have said
Please 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, mmm
Don't stop thinkin' of me
Don't make me feel this way
Come on, let me hear you 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 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 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
