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 keep 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 my 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 her back again....I'll stay right by her 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
