Lyrics

They call me Mr. Pitiful, baby, that's my name
Ooh, they call me Mr. Pitiful, that's how I got my fame
But people just don't understand now
Ooh, what makes a man feel so blue
Ooh, they call me Mr. Pitiful 'cause I lost someone just like you
They call me Mr. Pitiful, yeah, everybody knows now
Ooh, they call me Mr. Pitiful most every place I go
Ooh, but nobody seems to understand now
How can a man sing such sad songs?
Ooh, when he lost everything, ooh y'all, lost everything that he had
How can I explain to you when somebody's been so unfair?
How can I tell you about my past when all things won't clear?
Mr. Pitiful, baby, that's my name now
They call me Mr. Pitiful, that's how I got my fame
Ooh, but nobody seems to understand me
Ooh, what makes a man feel so blue
Oh, they call me Mr. Pitiful 'cause I'm so in love with you
Can I explain? Everything is going wrong
I lost everything I had
I got to sing these sad songs
Trying to get me back, back to you
And I want, and I want you, and I need you
And I want you, and I need you
I wanna tell you everything going through my mind
Everything going, going, going through my soul
Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to...
