George Jones & Ricky Skaggs
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why.
Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You're runnin' wild kickin' up your heels
A leavin' me home with a hand full of bills.
Well, I can't live without you and you know it's true
But there's 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 'preciate a good man.
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why.

Well, now I don't know, but I've heard say
That ever' little dog is a gonna have his day
You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy. yet.
Yeah, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then
Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore
When you come home a feelin' for the knob on the door.
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why...
