Lyrics: I Wonder Why

I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right
I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right
She go off every day and she won't come home 'till night

"i'll be home" well, last week that's what she said
"i'll be home" well, last week that's what she said
She don't care if i don't eat
'cos she don't know how the rent is paid

She's a gamblin' woman, she chases men in between
She's a gamblin' girl, she chases men in between
She mistreats me and she cheats me
Meanest woman i ever seen

The kid's in bed, i lay awake 'till broad daylight
The kid's in bed, i lay awake 'till broad daylight
Every now and then i wonder will my baby be home tonight
