lyrics

WHY YOU HAVE TO BE SO CRUEL?

I stare out my window watching the rain flow
I think about last night
The way that you kissed me
Then quickly dismissed me at your door

I don’t know why you have to be so cruel
It only makes the passion brew in my heart
And even though you “dis” this fool I love you the same

I give you my sunshine - I give you my last dime
There’s not much I won’t do
But you never call me
You only install me when you’re feelin’ blue

I don’t know why you have to be so cruel
It only makes the passion brew in my heart
And even though you “dis” this fool I love you the same

There’s no way to change you
You are a lesson to learn
I can not change you
Just try to avoid getting burned by you
Friends say I’m out of my mind
Why do I waste my time with you?
But they never get the chance to hold
And kiss you the way I do

I don’t know why you have to be so cruel (baby)
It only makes the passion brew in my heart
And even though you “dis” this fool - I love you the same
I don’t know why you have to be so cruel (baby)
It only makes the passion brew in my heart
And even though you “dis” this fool - I love you the same

I don’t know why - you have to be so cruel
Why do you have to treat me so unkind
All I wanna do is make you mine
I don't know why...
