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 be 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 you 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 you back dear
I'll stay right by your 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
