Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Call me Mr. Pitiful
Baby, that's my name now, oh
They call me Mr. Pitiful
That's how I got my fame
[Chorus]
But people just don't understand now
What make a man feel so blue
Ooh, they call me Mr. Pitiful
'Cause I've lost someone just like you, yeah
[Verse 2]
They call me Mr. Pitiful
This everybody know now
They call me Mr. Pitiful
Most every place I go
[Chorus]
But nobody seems to understand now
How can a man sing such a sad song now?
Ooh, when he lost everything
When he lost everything that he had
[Bridge]
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?
[Verse 3]
Mr. Pitiful
That's my name now
They call me Mr. Pitiful
That's how I got my fame
[Chorus]
But nobody seems to understand, no
Oh, what make a man feel so blue and
They call me Mr. Pitiful
'Cause I'm in love with you, yeah
[Outro]
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
And I'm gonna sing this song for everybody
'Cause I want them to understand what I'm talkin' about
I want you to understand what I'm sayin'
