Tell me why, why, baby,
why, baby, why
You make me cry, baby,
cry, baby, cry, baby, cry
I can't help but love you
till the day that I die
So tell me why, baby, why,
baby, why, baby, why
Well, I got a crow I want to pick with you
Just like the last time
when the feathers flew
You're running wild,
kicking up your heels
And leavin' me home with
a handful of pills
Lord, I can't live without you,
you know it's true
But there's no livin' with you,
so what will I do?
I'm goin' honky -tonk and
get as tight as I can
And maybe by then you'll
appreciate 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 help but love you
till the day that I die
So tell me why, baby, why, baby, why,
baby, why?
Well, I don't know, but I heard say
That every little dog's
gonna have his day
You better pay attention,
don't you dare forget
Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy,
yeah
Yeah, I caught you honky -tonking
with my best friend
The thing to do is leave you,
but I should've left then
I'm too old to leave you,
but I still get sore
When you come home,
I feel him for the knob on the door
Tell me why baby, why baby,
why baby, why
Why you make me cry, baby,
cry, baby, cry, baby, cry
I can't help but love you
till the day that I die
Tell me why, baby, why,
baby, why, baby, why
Tell me why, baby, why,
baby, why, baby, why
