Mr. Pitiful Lyrics By Otis Redding

    they call me mr pitiful
    baby thats my name now oh
    they call me mr pitiful
    that’s how i got my fame

    but people just don’t want to understand that
    what make a man feel so blue
    they call me mr pitiful
    ’cause i’ve lost someone just like you yeah

    they call me mr pitiful
    this everybody know now
    they call me mr pitiful
    ‘most everyplace i go

    but nobody seems to understand now
    how can a man sing such a sad song
    when he lost everything
    when he lost everything that he had

    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

    mr pitiful
    that’s my name now
    they call me mr pitiful
    that’s how i got my fame

    but nobody seems to understand
    oh what make a man can feel so blue and
    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
    i have to sing this sad song
    to get back to her
    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
    and i wanna sing
    and i don’t wanna sing this song with you
    i gonna sing this song for everybody
    ’cause i want them to understand what i talkin’ about
    i want you to understand what i’m sayin’
