They call me Mr. Pitiful; baby that's my name now
They call me Mr. Pitiful; that's how I got my fame.
But people just don't understand how a man can feel so blue
They call me Mr. Pitiful 'cos I lost someone just like you.
The call me Mr. Pitiful; this everybody know now
They call me Mr. Pitiful; most every place I go.
But nobody seems to understand now how can a man sing such a sad song
When he lost everything that he had.
(C7)
How can I explain to you how somebody can get so very blue?
How can I tell you about my past if all things won't end?
Mr. Pitiful; that's my name now
They call me Mr. Pitiful; that's how I got my fame.
But nobody seems to understand what make a man feel so blue
They call me Mr. Pitiful 'cos I lost someone just like you.
Can I explain to you
Everything is going wrong; I've lost everything I had.
I have to sing this sad song to get back to her.
