Why Baby Why

Roger McGuinn

Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you

Just like before when the feathers flew

You're runnin' wild kickin' up your heels

Leavin' me home with a handful of bills



It's too late to leave you and I know it's true

There ain't no livin' with you so what'll I do

I'm goin' honky tonkin' get as tight as I can

And maybe by then you'll appreciate a good man



Well I don't know but I've heard say

Every little dog's gonna have his day

You better listen to me don't you dare forget

Cause you ain't but just a little bitty puppy yet



Tell me why baby why baby

Why baby why you make me

Cry baby cry baby

Cry baby cry

I can't live without you

Till the day that I die

Tell me why baby why baby

Why baby why



I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend

The thing to do was leave you way back then

It's too late to leave you but I still get sore

When ya come home a feelin' for the knob on the door
