Tell me why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why?
Why you make me cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry?
Can't help but love you 'til the day I die
Tell me why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why?

Well, I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You got there honky tonkin', kickin' up your heels
Leavin' me home with a hand full of bills

Can't live without you and you know it's true
There's no livin' with you so what'll I do
I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as drunk as I can
Maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man, that's my friend
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/james+taylor/why+baby+why_20834489.html ]
Tell me why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why?
Why you make me cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry?
Can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
Tell me why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why? Tell me why

Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
The thing to do was leave you and I should'a left then
I love you so much you but I still get sore
When you come home feelin' for the knob on the door

I don't know I've heard sayin'
That ever' little dog is gonna have his day
You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy dog yet

Tell me why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why?
Why you make me cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry?
I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
Tell me why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why? Tell me
