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
