(As performed by George Jones)

(Chorus:)
Tell me why baby why baby why

You make me cry baby cry baby cry
I can stop loving you 'til the day that I die
So tell me why baby why baby why

I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time that the feathers flew
Your running wild kicking up your heels
Leaving me home with a hand full of bills

I can't live with out your you know it's true
There's no living with you so what'll I do
I'm going honky tonking get as tight as I can
Maybe by then you'll appreciate a good man

(Repeat chorus)

I don't know but I've heard say
Every little dog is gonna have his day
You'd better pay attention and don't forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet

I caught you honky tonking with my best friend
I shoulda quit you way back then
Now I'm too old to leave you but I still get sore
When you come home feeling for the knob on the door

(Repeat chorus)
