Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Am I supposed to close my eyes
And fall asleep when you're not home?
'Cause I wanna believe ya
But I wonder if you're all alone
These nights, they take forever long
And I can't breathe, I'm tired
If I could do the things you do to me
[Verse 2]
You wouldn't like that
No, no you you wouldn't like that
Come around 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning
Aye, aye, hey you
Better believe me
Loving you, it ain't easy
I'm halfway to losing my mind
[Verse 3]
Don't be cruel
It's taking all of me to love someone like you, you
[Verse 4]
Don't be cruel
It's taking all of me to love someone like you, oh
[Verse 5]
Trying to see you're side of things
But you've been playing so unfair (Ooh, ooh)
Talking like you love me
But then go on like you just don't care
Look how I come swinging around
Can't keep me down
I love ya, but I'm losing myself
In this run around
[Verse 6]
Am I being jealous?
Is he being selfish?
Runnin' around 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning
No, no, no, you better believe me
Loving you, it ain't easy
I'm halfway to losing my mind
[Verse 7]
Don't be cruel
It's taking all of me to love someone like you, you
[Verse 8]
Don't be cruel
It's taking all of me to love someone like you
Whoa baby
[Verse 9]
Don't be cruel baby
(No, don't be cruel)
No, no, no, don't be cruel
(Don't be cruel)
Don't be, don't be
(No, don't be cruel)
No, don't be, don't be
[Verse 10]
Don't be cruel
It's taking all of me to love someone like you
Someone like you, yeah
You're being, you're being so cruel baby
It's taking all of me to love someone like you
