Lyrics

They call me Mr. Pitiful Baby thats my name now, oh They call me Mr. Pitiful That's how I got my fame But people just don't want to understand that What make a man feel so blue They call me Mr. Pitiful 'Cause I've lost someone just like you, yeah The call me Mr. Pitiful This everybody know now They call me Mr. Pitiful 'Most everyplace I go But nobody seems to understand now How can a man sing such a sad song When he lost everything When he lost everything that he had How can I explain to you? How somebody can get so very blue, now How can I tell you about my past? If all things won't end Mr. Pitiful That's my name now They call me Mr. Pitiful That's how I got my fame But nobody seems to understand Oh what make a man can feel so blue and They call me Mr. Pitiful 'Cause I'm in love with you Can I explain to you? Everything is going wrong I've lost everything I had I have to sing this sad song To get back to her And I want you and I want you and I want you And I want you and I wanna tell you that now That everything is going through my mind And I wanna sing And I don't wanna sing this song with you I gonna sing this song for everybody 'Cause I want them to understand what I talkin' about I want you to understand what I'm sayin'
