[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
You wouldn't like that
No, no, you wouldn't like that
Runnin' round, two, three o'clock in the mornin'
Hey, hey, hey, you better believe me
Lovin' you, it ain't easy
I'm halfway to losin' my mind

[Chorus]
Don't be cruel
It's taken all of me to love someone like you, you
Don't be cruel
It's taken all of me to love someone like you, ooh

[Verse 2]
Tryin' to see your side of things, but you've been playing so unfair (Ooh)
Talkin' like you love me, but then go on like you just don't care
Look out (look out), I come swingin' around
Can't keep me down
I love ya (I love ya), but I'm losing myself in this run around
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I being jealous?
Are you being selfish?
Runnin' round, two, three o'clock in the mornin'
No, no, no you better believe me
Lovin' you, it ain't easy
I'm halfway to losin' my mind

[Chorus]
Don't be cruel
It's taken all of me to love someone like you, you
Don't be cruel
It's taken all of me to love someone like you

[Bridge]
Oh, baby
Don't be cruel, baby (no, don't be)
No, no, no, don't be cruel (no, don't be)
Don't be, don't be, no (no, don't be)
Don't be, don't be (no, don't be)

[Chorus]
Don't be cruel
It's taken all of me to love someone like you (someone like you, yeah)
You're being, you're being so cruel, baby
It's taken all of me to love someone like you
Don't be
You're being so cruel
