Babyface Don`t Be Cruel Lyrics

Don`t Be Cruel Lyrics

written by L.A. Reid, Babyface, Daryl Simmons (1988)
performed by Bobby Brown

Girl
The only thing that matters in my life
Is that I`m down for you and treat you right
You`ve got no cause to treat me cold as ice
Oh girl
As long as I`ll be givin` my love to you
You should be givin` me your love too
But you just keep on actin` just like a fool
You know it ain`t cool

Don`t be cruel
`Cause I would never be that cruel to you
Oh no, no, no, oh no
Don`t be cruel
Girl you need to change your attitude
Oh no, no, oh
Don`t be cruel

RAP:
Hey, yo cutie
What`s up with this attitude
I thought I was bein` real good to you
I treat you sweet
I take you out at night
But you never say thanks
Girl, that ain`t right
I bought you diamonds
Even gave you pearls
I took you for a cruise all around the world
I treat you high post
But you play me close
And if I want to drink up
You won`t even toast

Girl I work so hard for you from nine to five
So you could have the finer things in life
Since you`re the kind that`s never satisfied
Oh girl
As long as I`ll be givin` my heart to you
You should be givin` me your heart too
But you just keep on actin` just like a fool
You know it ain`t cool

HOOK

RAP:
From fancy cars to diamond rings
I`ve just about given you everything
There`s really not much I won`t do for you
I bought you twelve yellow roses
And candy, too
I like to be up front
And never play the back
But the way you treat me girl
It`s like a heart attack
I`m a real troop trooper
And with all the times
I`m wit`cha by my side
Diggin` dollars outta crock

Oh girl
As long as I`ll be givin` my love to you
You should be givin` me your love too
But you just keep on actin` just like a fool
You know it ain`t cool
It just ain`t cool
Don`t be cruel

RAP:
We used to hang out tough
Just kickin` around
We discovered a love
That had never been found
You gave me your heart
I gave you my mind
But a true love affair we could never find
Although I want you bad
I could let you go
`Cause there`s a lot of girls out there
That won`t say no
No to the fact
That I want you Jackie
I want you more than human eyes can see
But you had to start illin`
Try to make a killin`
Thought about the dollars I make
And you were willin`
To be with me, Bobby B.
But with a bad attitude I can`t compete
Now you know my name
Now I 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
