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

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
