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, when I first met you, baby, at a dance and we did fine
But now we're together, 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
If ever get her back again, I'll stay right by her side I won't be cryin', I'll stay happy that a way
Be lovin' my little baby every night and every day
