(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...
