Well now sittin' here so lonely Feelin' oh so blue My baby's tryin' to mistreat me and I don't know what to do So I'm cryin' Why do I have to feel this way If I can't love my baby I can't live another day Yeah I've loved her for such a long time To end it all this way Sittin' here so lonely Tears keep fallin' just like rain So I'm cryin' Why do I have to feel this way If I can't love my baby I can't live another day Yeah you know I love you baby I'll do anything for you But when we start to fightin' I just get these same old blues So I'm cryin' Why do I have to feel this way If I can't love my baby I can't live another day Yeah now when I first met you baby At a dance and we did fine Now we're together and it's a total waste of time So I'm cryin' Why do I have to feel this way If I can't love my baby I can't live another day Well I guess it's just my own fault The truth I cannot hide But if I ever get her back again I'll stay right by her side I won't be cryin' I'll stay happy that a way I'll be lovin' my little baby Every night and every day
