Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why
Well I got a crow, I wanna pick with you Just like the time when the feathers flew You're runnin' wild, kickin' up your heels And leavin' me home with a hand full of bills
Well, I can't live without you and you know it's true But there's no livin' with you so what'll I do I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I can And maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry I can't live without you 'til the day that I die So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
Now I don't know, but I've heard say That ever' little dog is a gonna have his day You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget 'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet
Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore When you come home a feelin' for the knob on the door
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why Why baby, why baby, why baby why
