   C                              Am
Am I suppose to close my eyes and fall
                    Dm     G
asleep when you're not home
       C                          Am
'Cause I wanna believe you, but I wonder
                Dm  G
if you're all alone
       C
These nights (these nights)
     Am            Dm      G
They take forever long and I can't breathe
     C
I'm tired (I'm tired)
   Am               Dm       Fm
If I could do the things you do to me

C
You wouldn't like that
Am
No, no, no, you wouldn't like that
Dm                                        G
Runnin' round, two, three o'clock in the mornin'
                C
Hey, hey, hey, you better believe me
Am
Lovin' you, it ain't easy
    Dm                    Fm
I'm halfway to losin' my mind

Chorus:
           C  Am
Don't be cruel
      F            G             C         Am
It's taken all of me to love someone like you,
 F Fm
you
           C  Am
Don't be cruel
      F            G             C        Am
It's taken all of me to love someone like you,
F  Fm
ooh

Tryin' to see your side of things, but you've
been playing so unfair (Ooh)
Talkin' like you love me, but then go on like
you just don't care
Look out (look out), I come swingin' around
Can't keep me down
I love ya (I love ya), but
I'm losing myself in this run around

Am I being jealous?
Are you being selfish?
Runnin' round, two, three o'clock in the mornin'
No, no, no you better believe me
Lovin' you, it ain't easy
I'm halfway to losin' my mind

Chorus:
Don't be cruel
It's taken all of me to love someone like you, you
Don't be cruel
It's taken all of me to love someone like you

           C Am  Fm        G
Don't be cruel, baby (no, don't be)
 C        Am Fm
No, no, no, don't be cruel (no, don't be)
C       Am        Fm         G
Don't be, don't be, no (no, don't be)
C       Am        Fm
Don't be, don't be (no, don't be)

Chorus:
Don't be cruel
It's taken all of me to love someone like you
(someone like you, yeah)
You're being, you're being so cruel, baby
It's taken all of me to love someone like you
Don't be
You're being so cruel
