Why Baby Why (v1)

(George Jones - Darrell Edwards)



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 till the day that I die

So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why.



Well, I got a crow I want to pick with you

Just like last time when the feathers flew

You're running wild a kickin' up your heels

A leaving me home with a handful of bills.



Well, 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 tonking 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 live without you till 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 you say

That every little dog's a 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 tonking with my best friend

The thing to do was leave you but I shoulda left then

Now I'm too old to leave you but I still get sore

When you come home a feeling 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...
