Oh, tell me, why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why You make me cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry? Lord, 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 last time when the feathers flew You're runnin' wild kickin' up your heels A-leavin' me at home with a hand full of bills
Lord, I can't live without you, 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 while I'm there, I'm gonna find a new man
Oh, tell me, why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why You make me cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry? Lord, 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 don't know but I've heard 'em say That every little dog's 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 shoulda 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
Oh, tell me, why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why You make me cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry? Oh, Lord, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die So tell me, why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why?
