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

But 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 a-kickin' up your heels

A-leavin' me home with a hand full of bills



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

No, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die

So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why



Well, now I don't know, but I've heard say

That ev'ry 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, 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



Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
