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 yeah 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
