You know what can be found
Sitting home all alone
If you can't come around
Won't you please, please telephone
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true

Baby, if I made y'mad
By something I might have said
Don't forget my past
Y'know, the future lays bright ahead
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

Baby, if I made y'mad
By something that I might have said
Don't forget my past
Y'know, the future lays bright ahead
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
