Why Baby Why – Charley Pride



Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why

You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry



Well, I got a crow I wanna pick with you

Just like last time when the feathers flew

You're runnin' wild a-kickin' up your heels

A-leavin' me home with a hand full 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', getting' tight as I can

And maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man



Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why

You made me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry 

I can't live without you till the day that I die



--- Instrumental ---



Girl, now I don't know, but I've heard say

That ever' little dog is a-gonna have his day

You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget

'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet



I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend

The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then

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

When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door



Well, tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why

You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry

I live without you 'til the day that I die

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

Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why...
