Mr. Pitiful [Set 2 / Sunday, 4/10/66] Songtext
von Otis Redding

They call me Mr. Pitiful
Baby, that′s my name now, oh
Call me Mr. Pitiful
And that's how I got my fame

But nobody seem to understand that
What make a man feel so blue
Ooh, they call me Mr. Pitiful
′Cause I've lost someone just like you now

They call me Mr. Pitiful
This everybody know now
They call me Mr. Pitiful
'Most everyplace I go

But nobody seems to understand that
What make a man sing such a sad song
Ooh, when they′ve lost everything
When they′ve lost everything they 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
And that's how I got my fame

But nobody seems to understand
Ooh, what make a man feel so blue, now
Ooh, they call me Mr. Pitiful
′Cause I've lost someone just like you now


Can I explain to you?
Everything is going wrong
I′ve lost everything I had
I've got to sing this sad song
To get back to her
And I want you and I want you and I want you
And I'm gonna tell you, baby
Everything is going through my mind
Lonely things, I can say
And I wanna sing this song for you
And I wanna sing this song for everybody
And I want them to understand what I′m talkin′ about
Aren't we?
