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
