Don't Be Cruel (Version 1)

Heard this guy in Las Vegas

Billy Ward and his Dominoes

Uh Billy Ward and his Dominoes

There was a guy out there that did a take on me

Don't Be Cruel

And he tried so hard until he got much better boy

Much better than that record of mine

Oh no, no, no wait, wait, wait now, I mean

It's just that he was real slender

He was, he was, he was a colored guy

He got up there and he said

He had it a little slower than me

Started off, he said

What key did I do it in?

What key did I do Don't Be Cruel in?

He said

"Hey you know I can be found"

That's the way he sang

Sitting home all alone

If you can't come around

At least please telephone

Don't be cruel

To a heart that's true

He said "A-heart-eh-that's true"

He said

"Well a-baby, if I made you mad

For something I might have said

Please, let's forget the past

The future looks bright ahead

Don't be cruel

To a heart that's true

I don't want no other love

Baby it's just you I'm thinking of"

He said

"Well please don't say you love me

Don't make me feel this way

Come on over here and love me

You know what I want you to say

Don't be cruel

To a heart that's true"

Then them boys said

"Well I don't want no other love

Baby it's just you I'm thinking of"

Whoo-ee
