Why Baby Why (v2)

(George Jones - Darrell Edwards)

George Jones & Gene Pitney



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've 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 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' gettin' 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



Well, I caught you honky tonkin' 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, my baby, for a knock 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 live without you till the day that I die

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