Am I suppose to close my eyes and fall asleep when you're not home?
Cause I wanna believe you, but I wonder if you're all alone
These nights (these nights)
They take forever long
And I can't breathe, I'm tired (I'm tired)
If I could do the things you do to me
You wouldn't like that
No, no, no, you wouldn't like that

Runnin' round 1, 2, 3 clock in the mornin'
Hey, hey, you better believe me, loving you ain't easy
I'm halfway to losing my mind

Don't be cruel
It's takin' all of me to love someone like you
Don't be cruel
It's takin' all of me to love someone like you

Trying to see a side of things, but you've been playing so unfair
Talking like you love me, but then go like you just don't care
Look out, I come swinging around
Can't keep me down
I love you, but I'm losing myself, in this run around

Am I being jealous?
Are you being selfish?
Runnin' round 1, 2, 3 clock in the mornin'
You better believe me, loving you ain't easy
I'm halfway to losing my mind

Don't be cruel
It's takin' all of me to love someone like you, you
Don't be cruel
It's takin' all of me to love someone like you
Don't be cruel, baby (don't be cruel)
Don't be cruel

Don't be
Don't be, no
Don't be
Don't be

Don't be cruel
It's takin' all of me to love someone like you
Don't be cruel
It's takin' all of me to love someone like you
Don't be
You're being so cruel
