Don't Be Cruel Lyrics - Babyface

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 

Photos 

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 

Hook 2 times 

Rap:
