Lyric Why Baby Why

Written by Darrell Edwards and George Jones
(As performed by George Jones)

Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
Lord, I can t help but love you til the day that I die
So 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 re runnin wild kickin up your heels
A-leavin me home with a hand full of bills
Lord, 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 , get as tight as I can
And maybe by then you ll preciate a good man

Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry
No, I can t help but love you til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why

Well, 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
Well, 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

Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
Lord, I can t help but love 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
