Lyrics:

[English]

Now if you've seen my baby

My baby is oh, so fine

She's long and lean

And never mean

She tastes like cherry wine

And she's my baby (She drives me crazy)

Now a love like mine

Should never be denied

I want to hug and kiss her

Oh Lord, I really miss her all the time

All the time

Now I said

Why, why, why, why, why? (Why me?)

Why, why, why me? (Why me?)

Why, why, why, why, why?

Why'd she have to run away from me?

It's a mystery why

I love her more today

Than I loved her yesterday

When I thought that she'd come back to me

Why me?

...

Now if you've seen my baby

Tell her this for me

I'm so sad and lonely

Down as I can be

And she's my baby (She drives me crazy)

Now a love like mine

Should never be denied

I want to hug and kiss her

Oh Lord, I really miss her all the time

All the time

Now I said

Why, why, why, why, why? (Why me?)

Why, why, why me? (Why me?)

Why, why, why, why, why?

Why'd she have to run away from me?

It's a mystery why

I love her more today than

I loved her yesterday when

I thought that she'd come back to me

Why me? (Why me?)

...

Then I said

Why, why, why, why, why? (Why me?)

Why, why, why me? (Why me?)

Why, why, why, why, why?

Why'd she have to run away from me?

It's a mystery why

I love her more today than

I loved her yesterday when

I thought that she'd come back to me

Why me?

Now I said

Why, why, why, why, why? (Why me?)

Why, why, why me? (Why me?)

Why, why, why, why, why?

Why'd she have to run away from me?

It's a mystery why

I love her more today than

I loved her yesterday when

I thought that she'd come back to-

Why me? Why me?

Why me? Why me?

Why me? Why me?

Why me?
