Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They call me Mr. Pitiful
Baby, that's my name
They call me Mr. Pitiful
That's how I got my fame
But nobody seems to understand now, what makes a man feel so blue
Oh, they call me Mr. Pitiful 'cause I lost someone just like you
[Verse 2]
They call me Mr. Pitiful
Yes, everybody knows now
They call me Mr. Pitiful
Most every place I go now
But nobody seems to understand now, what makes a man
Sing such a sad song, ooh
When you lost everything, when you lost everything
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
How can I explain to you, somebody actin' so very blue?
How can I tell you about my thing, ah, nothing will do, yeah
[Verse 4]
Mr. Pitiful, baby, that's my name
They call me Mr. Pitiful
That's how I got my fame
But nobody seems to understand now, what makes a man feel so blue
They call me Mr. Pitiful 'cause I lost someone just like you, nah
[Verse 5]
Everything is goin' wrong, everything I had, yeah, my baby
Oh, I gotta sing you a sad song, oh, a sad song, ooh, yeah
I gotta get back to you one more time, oh, one more time
One more time, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
One more time, one more time, one more, one more, one more time
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
