Dont Be Cruel - Lyrics by Babyface


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
