You know I can be found,
Sittin' home all alone.
If you can't come around,
At least please telephone.
a-Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Baby, if I a-made you mad,
For something I might have said,
Please, let's forget my past,
The future looks bright ahead.
a-Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

I don't want no other love.
a-Baby, it's just you I'm thinkin' of.

Mmmm.
Don't stop thinkin' of me,
a-Don't a-make me feel this way,
Come on over here and love me,
You know what I want a-you to say.
a-Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Why should we be apart?
I really love you baby, cross a-my heart.

Let's walk up to the preacher,
And let us say I do.
Then you'll know you'll have me,
And I'll know that I'll have you.
a-Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

I don't want no other love.
a-Baby, it's just you I'm thinkin' of.

1Even though "Don't Be Cruel" was written by Otis Blackwell, Elvis took a
songwriting credit as a "cut-in," (meaning just because he sang on the record
he got a share of the songwriting credit). The song was released as a single
in 1956 with its B-side being, "Hound Dog." The duo proved so popular that
the two songs were linked and the record was treated as a double-A-side
single. It topped the pop, country, and R&B charts for months, selling more
than four million copies and becoming the biggest single record of 1956.

2Though it remains closely identified with Presley, "Don't Be Cruel" has
been successfully covered by many other artists. Some notables are, Alley
Cats, Bill Black, Otis Blackwell, Cheap Trick, Chaka Demus, Neil Diamond,
Fleetwood Mac, Connie Francis, Merle Haggard, Tom Jones, The Judds, Jerry Lee
Lewis, Barbara Lynn, Carl Perkins, The Platters, The Residents, Paul Revere &
the Raiders, Ringo Starr, Billy Swan, Conway Twitty, Ted Williams, to name a
few.
