"Mr. Pitiful" lyrics

"Mr. Pitiful"

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

They call me Mr. Pitiful
Yes, everybody knows now
They call me Mr. Pitiful
Most everyplace I go now

But nobody seems to understand now
What makes a man sing such a sad song
Oh, when you lost everything
When you lost everything, yeah, yeah

How can I explain to you
Somebody actin' so very blue
How can I tell you about my thing
All the things we'll do

Yeah, 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, yeah

Everything is going wrong
Everything I had till now, baby
Oh, I got to sing you a sad song
Oh, a sad song, oh, yeah

I gotta get back to you one more time
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
