Lyrics

You know I can be found

sit tin’ home all a lone.

If you can’t come a round,

at least please tel e phone.

Don’t be cruel

to a heart that’s true.

(D)Ba by, if I made you mad

for some thing I might have said,

(G)please let’s for get the past.

The (D)fu ture looks bright a head.

Don’t be (Em7)cruel

to a heart that’s (D)true.

I don’t (G)want no oth (G#)er love.

(G)Ba by, it’s just (G#)you I’m think ing (D)of.

Well, (D)don’t stop think ing of me.

Don’t make me feel this way.

Come (G)on, let me know you love me!

You (D)know what I want you to say.

Don’t be (Em7)cruel

to a heart that’s (D)true.

Why (G)should we be (G#)a part?

I (G)real ly love (G#)you, (A)ba by, cross my (D)heart.

Let’s (D)walk up to the preach er and let’s say, “I do.”

(G)Then you’ll know you have me, and I’ll (D)know I have you too.
