(As performed by George Jones) 



(Chorus:)

Tell me why baby why baby why

You make me cry baby cry baby cry

I can stop loving you 'til the day that I die

So tell me why baby why baby why



I got a crow I wanna pick with you

Just like last time that the feathers flew

Your running wild kicking up your heels

Leaving me home with a hand full of bills



I can't live with out your you know it's true

There's no living with you so what'll I do

I'm going honky tonking get as tight as I can

Maybe by then you'll appreciate a good man



(Repeat chorus)



I don't know but I've heard say

Every little dog is gonna have his day

You'd better pay attention and don't forget

'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet



I caught you honky tonking with my best friend

I shoulda quit you way back then

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

When you come home feeling for the knob on the door



(Repeat chorus)
