Why not, why not darling
I don't understand
Why not let me be your regular man

Why not, why not baby
You know you done me wrong
Why not let me love you all night long

I love you baby, you know that's true
Give you all money
What more can I do?

Why not, why not darling
Why not I don't know
Why not let me be your daddy-o

I love you baby, you know that's true
Give you all my money
What more can I do?

Why not, why not darlin'
Why not I don't know
Why not let me love you anymore?

They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad
They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad
Wednesday's worse, and Thursday's also sad

Yes, the eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play
Eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church, then I kneel down and pray

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, my heart's in misery
Crazy about my baby, yes, send her back to me
