Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cryWell, 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 billsI 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 manWell, 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 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, whyI don't know, but I've heard say
That every little dog is gonna have his day
You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yetI 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 doorWell, 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 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
