[Verse 1]
Well, I'm sittin' here so lonely, feelin' oh so blue
My baby's tryin' to mistreat me and I don't know what to do

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
Yeah, now when I first met you baby at a dance and we did fine
But now that we're together yeah, it's a total waste of time

[Chorus]
And 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

[Verse 5]
Well, I guess it's just my own fault, the truth I cannot hide
But if I ever get you back dear, I'll stay right by your side

[Outro]
I won't be cryin'
I'll stay happy that way
I'll be lovin' my little baby
Every night and every day
