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
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 running wild, kicking up your heels
Leaving me home with a hand full of bills
Lord, I can't live without you and you know it's true
But ain't no living with you so what'll I do?
I'm going honky tonking, get as tight as I can
And maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man
Yeah, 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
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why?
Well, now I don't know but I've heard say
Every little doggie gonna have his day
You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet
I caught you honky tonking with my best friend
The thing to do was leave you and I should'a left then
Now I'm too old to leave you but I still get sore
When I hear you come a-feeling for the knob on the door
Well, 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
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why?
