(A. Byrd/Danni Leigh)



Oh, cruel heart

How could you lead me on

Then tear my whole world right in two

I thought you were my friend

Then you let me down

Oh, cruel heart

You scared him off

You loved too much

And now he's gone

What'd I ever do to you

Cruel heart



All I ever wanted was the best for you

And you showed such good intentions from the start

Now, here we are, the two of us left lonely

'Cause you fell too fast and overplayed your heart



Cruel heart

You lead me on

You tear my whole world right in two

I thought you were my friend

Then you let me down

Oh, cruel heart

You scared him off

You loved too much

And now he's gone

What'd I ever do to you

Cruel heart



I'll bet he didn't know what he was in for

When you came right out of nowhere from the dark

You didn't listen to what he was feelin'

Now all this hurt is bound to leave a mark



Cruel heart

You lead me on

You tear my whole world right in two

I thought you were my friend

Then you let me down

Oh, cruel heart

You scared him off

You loved too much

And now he's gone

What'd I ever do to you

To make me so doggone blue

What'd I ever do to you

Cruel heart

Cruel heart
