Tell me why baby why baby why baby why
|
You make me cry baby cry baby cry baby cry
|
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 a 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
|
[ steel ]
|
Well I don't know but I've heard you say
|
That ev'ry 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
|
Oh why you should've done he put you away back 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...
