Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
I cant 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
Youre runnin wild a-kickin up your heels
A-leavin me home with a hand full of bills
I cant live without you and you know its true
But theres no livin with you, so whatll I do
Im goin honky tonkin, get as tight as I can
And maybe by then youll 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 cant help but love you til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Well, now I dont know, but Ive heard say
That evry little dog is a-gonna have his day
Youd better pay attention, dont you dare forget
Cause Im 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 Im 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 cant help but love you til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
