I never did the same to you

I never dreamt that it would end like this
tell me please just what's amiss
don't you play those silly games
crying and calling me names

don't be cruel, don't be cruel
is it true, do you leave me for another one
is it true, do you leave me for another one

why must you give up on me now
we've been together for so long
we can work it out somehow
my love for you is still as strong

don't be cruel, don't be cruel
is it true, do you leave me for another one
is it true, do you leave me for another one
