[Chorus]
F
Well, tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
C G C
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry
F
Oh lord, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
C G C
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
[Verse 1]
G
Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you
F C
Just like last time when the feathers flew
G
You're runnin' wild, kickin' up your heels
F C
A-leavin' me at home with a handful of bills
[Verse 2]
G
Lord, I can't live without you, you know it's true
F C
But there's no livin' with you, so what'll I do?
G
I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I can
F C
And maybe while I'm there, I'm gonna find a new man
[Chorus]
F
Well, tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
C G C
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry
F
Oh lord, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
C G C
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why

[Verse 3]
G
Well, I don't know but I've heard 'em say
F C
That every little dog is gonna have his day
G
You better pay attention don't ya dare forget
F C
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet
[Verse 4]
G
Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
F C
The thing to do was leave you, but I should've left then
G
Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore
F C
When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door
[Chorus]
F
Well, tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
C G C
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry
F
Oh lord, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
C G C

N.C. C
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
