(Ralph Burns Kellogg)

Why are you the only one

That makes me laugh my tattooed frown

Why are you the only one

That brings me up when I feel down

All the things you said to me

All the things that I believe

You're the one who sets me free, yeah.





Woman making me sad

Lord, woman she's treating me bad

Why does she treat me so bad

Lord, why does she make me so sad

Why does she treat me so bad when she knows

I'm the one who loves her!?





Why are you the only one

That makes me cry my feathered frown

Why I see your broken wings

Lord, I know you'll never ever fall again

Could it be that you and me

Never sang, never real, oh

What was once will never be, no.





Why does she treat me so bad

Why does she make me so sad

Why does she treat me so bad

Lord, why does she make me so sad

Why does she treat me so bad when she knows

I'm the one who loves her!?





Lady Love please smile on me

Why don't you turn your man away

You, I thought your thought left me

With my love through one more day

When I think I see your smile

Even for a little while

Then I see that all the while....





She needed me to sit and hold her knee

Needed a feather from me

Why do you make sure to see

That the joke is always, always on me, yeah

Why does she treat me so bad when she knows

I'm the one who loves her!?





Leave him a feather from me, Leave him a feather from me

Lord, why does she treat me so bad

I wanna know why does she treat me bad

Oh, why why, does she treat me so bad

Lord, why, why, why, why does she treat me so bad when she knows

I'm the one who loves her!?
