  • Well, you know I can be found, sitting 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 (bop bop bop)
    For something I might have said (bop bop)
    Please forget my past (bop bop bop)
    The future looks bright ahead (bop bop bop bop bop)
    But don't be cruel, to a heart that's true
    I don't want no other love, baby, it's just you I'm thinking of

    Don't stop thinking of me, don't make me feel this way
    Come on over and love me, you know I want you to stay
    Don't be cruel, to a heart that's true

    Let's walk down to the preacher (bop bop bop)
    Let's say, hey I do (bop bop)
    And then I know you'll want me (bop bop bop)
    And you'll know I want you too (bop bop bop bop bop)
    Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
    I don't want no other love, baby, it's just 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
    Don't need no other love, baby
    It's just you I'm thinking of, hey hey hey

    Don't stop thinking of me, don't make me feel this way
    Come on over and love me, you know I want you to stay
    Don't be cruel, to a heart that's true
    Why should we be apart, baby you know I love you, cross my heart

    Don't be cruel to a heart that's true [Repeat: x5]
    Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
    Don't want no other love, baby it's just you I'm thinking of Writer/s: Elvis Presley, Otis Blackwell
