Mr. Pitiful Songtext
von Otis Redding

Call me Mr. Pitiful
Baby, that′s my name now, oh
Call me Mr. Pitiful, that's how I got my fame
But people just don′t understand that
What makes a man feel so blue
Ooh, they call me Mr. Pitiful 'cause I lost someone just like you, yeah

They 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, now
Ooh, when he lost everything, when he lost everything that he had

How can I explain to you
When somebody had been 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 now
Ooh, what make a man feel so blue
They call me Mr. Pitiful 'cause I′m in love with you

Can I explain to you?
Everything is going wrong
I've lost everything I had
And I have to sing these sad songs to get back to her
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want to tell you right now
Everything that′s going through my mind
Sing
And I want to sing this song with you
And I'm gonna sing this song to everybody
′Cause I want them to understand what I'm talkin' about
I want you to understand what I′m sayin′
