Lyrics

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 till the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Well, I've got a crow I want to pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You're running wild a kickin' up your heels
A leavin' me home with a handful 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' gettin' 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 till the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
--- Instrumental ---
Now I don't know but I've heard you say
That every little dog's a gonna have his day
You 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, my baby, for a knock on the door
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 till the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why...
