Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Call me mister pitiful
Baby that's my name now oh
Call me mister pitiful
That's how I got my fame
[Verse 2]
But people just don't want to understand that
What make a man feel so blue
Oh they call me mister pitiful
'Cause I've lost someone just like you yeah
[Verse 3]
They call me mister pitiful
This everybody know that
They call me mister pitiful
Most everyplace I go
[Verse 4]
But nobody seems to understand that
How can a man sing such a sad song
Oh when he lost everything
When he lost everything that he had?
[Verse 5]
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 6]
Mister pitiful
That's my name now
They call me mister pitiful
That's how I got my fame
[Verse 7]
But nobody seems to understand that
Oh what make a man can feel so blue and
They call me mister pitiful
'Cause I am in love with you
[Verse 8]
Can I explain to you
Everything is going wrong?
I've lost everything I had
I have to sing this sad song
Get back to her
[Verse 9]
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
I can say now
[Verse 10]
And I don't wanna sing the song with you
And I'm gonna sing this song for everybody
'Cause I am in front of them when I'm talking about that
I want you to understand what I'm saying
