Letra e Música:

Otis Blackwell e Elvis Presley

1956

 

Intérprete:

ELVIS PRESLEY

 

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

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.

Don't stop thinking of 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.
Why should we be apart?
I really love you baby, cross 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,
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.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
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.

 
 
 

 

Don't Be cruel é uma canção de autoria de Otis Backwell, gravada por Elvis Presley em 1956. Elvis retrabalhou a música e a letra, daí a razão dos créditos registrados.

A canção foi gravada para a RCA pela banda de Scotti Moore na guitara solo, com Elvis usualmente contribuindo com  a guitarra rítmica,  Bill Black no baixo, D. J. Fontana na percussão e o grupo The Jordanaires provendo o coro em background.
