LYRICS

(feat. Daryl Simmons, Karyn White, Kayo)
Girl, the only that matters in my life
Is that I'm down for you and treat you right
You've got no call to treat me cold as ice
Ohh, girl
As long as I been givin' my love to you
You should be givin' me your love too
But yu just keep on actin' just like a fool
You know it ain't cool

Don't be cruel
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you
(no oh oh no)
Don't be cruel
Girl, you need to change your attitude
(no oh oh)
Don't be cruel

Hey yo' Kimmy what's up with this attitude
I tought I was bein' real good to you
I treat you sweet, take you out at night
But you never say thanks girl that ain't right
I bought you diamonds even gave you pearls
I took you for a cruise all around the world
I treat you high post but you play me close
If I want to drink up you won't even toast

Girl, I work so hard for you from 9 to 5
So you could have the finer things in life
Since you're the kind that's never satisfied
Ohh, girl
As long as I been givin' my heart to you
You should be givin' me your heart too
But you just keep on actin' just like a fool
You know it ain't cool

Don't be cruel
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you
(no oh oh no)
Don't be cruel
Girl, you need to change your attitude
(no oh oh)
Don't be cruel

From fancy cars to diamond rings
I've just about given you everything
There's really not much I won't do for you
I bought you 12 yellow roses and candy too
I like be up front and never play the back
But the way you treat me girl is like a heart attack
I'm real troop trooper and with all the times
That you were by my side diggin' dollars outta crock

Ohh, girl
As long as I been givin' my love to you
You should be givin' me your love too
But you just keep on actin'just like a fool
You know it ain't cool
It just ain't cool

Don't be cruel

[instrumental]

We used to hang out tough just kickin' around
We discovered a love that had never been found
You gave me your heart I gave you my mind
But a true love affair we could never find
Although I want you bad I could let you go
'Cause there's a lot of girls out there that won't say no
But due to fact that I want you Jackie,
I want you more than human eyes can see
But you had to stat givin' tryin' to make a kilin'
Thought about the dollars I make and you were willin'
To be with me Bobby B., with a bad attitude I can't compete
Now you know my name, now I know your game
You want to be with me you got to be the same way
That another girl would be and if you wanna be with me

Don't be cruel
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you
(no oh oh no)
Don't be cruel
Girl, you need to change your attitude
(no oh oh)

Don't be cruel
'Cause I would never be that cruel to you
(no oh oh no)
Don't be cruel
Girl, you need to change your attitude
(no oh oh)
