Why Baby Why

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 So 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 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 ever' 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 Yeah, 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 I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why...
