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

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

But now that we're together, yeah it's a total waste of time

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



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

I won't be cryin' I'll stay happy that way.

I'll be lovin' my little baby every night and every day
