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” foi a primeira música que os editores de Elvis, Hill and Range, levaram ao artista para gravar, e Otis Blackwell cedeu 50 % dos royalties e crédito de co‑autoria a Presley para garantir que o “cantor mais quente” a cantasse【1】
Na sessão de gravação de 2 de julho de 1956, Elvis exigiu 28 tomadas da faixa antes de aprová‑la, enquanto “Hound Dog” chegou a 31 tomadas, demonstrando seu perfeccionismo em estúdio【1】
O single, lançado em 13 de julho de 1956, chegou a liderar simultaneamente as três principais paradas (Pop, Country e R & B), e junto com “Hound Dog” manteve o nº 1 na parada Pop por 11 semanas, igualando recordes de 1950‑1952 até ser superado apenas em 1992【1】
A canção foi incluída no Grammy Hall of Fame em 2002 e ocupa a posição 197 na lista dos 500 maiores sucessos da Rolling Stone, além de ser a 92ª maior de todos os tempos segundo o Acclaimed Music【2】
Elvis apresentou “Don’t Be Cruel” nas três vezes em que subiu ao The Ed Sullivan Show (setembro 1956 e janeiro 1957), consolidando‑a como um dos números fixos de seus shows ao vivo até sua morte em 1977【1】
