Don'T Be Cruel

They try to be nice to me They try to encourage me But I'm not a fool What you're doing ain't cool You treat me like a tool Just don't be cruel You bully me every day Impaling my emotions like a head on a spear Clearly you don't expect much of me Just to grow up as a depressed failure Teachers say they care But talk is cheap like an old car They just sit there freeloading on their salary Watching the remainder of my self esteem fade like a photo Holding back my tears Like a lovestruck teenager holding back his feelings But when I can't hold anymore The bullying gets worse You have no call to treat me cold as ice You take my feelings and slice and dice Just be nice Think twice Before you pay the price What you're doing ain't cool You treat me like a tool Just don't be cruel "Don't be cruel. Cause I would never be that cruel to you." -Bobby Brown
