Well now sittin' here so lonelyfeelin' 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 babyi can't live another day

Yeah I've loved her for such a long timeto end it all this way
Sittin' here so lonelytears be fallin' just like rain
So I'm cryin'why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love my babyi can't live another day

Yeah you know I love you babyi'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 babyi can't live another day

Yeah now when I first met you babyat a dance and we did fine
Now we're together and it's a total waste of time
So I'm cryin'why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love you babyi can't live another day

Well I guess it's just my own faultthe truth I cannot hide
But if I ever get you back deari'll stay right by your side
I won't be cryin'i'll stay happy that a way
I'll be lovin' my little babyevery night and every day
