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
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 running wild a kickin' up your heels
You're leavin' me home with a handful 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
I can't help but love you till the day that I die
But tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why

Well, I don't know but I've heard you say
That every little dog is gonna have his day
You 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 time to do was to leave you, but I should have 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
I can't help but love you till the day that I die
But tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
