Mr. Pitiful Lyrics by The Commitments

The Commitments

1991

[Verse 1]
They call me Mr. Pitiful
Baby, that's my name
They call me Mr. Pitiful
That's how I got my fame
But nobody seems to understand now
What makes a man feel so blue
Oh, they call me Mr. Pitiful
'Cause I lost someone just like you

[Verse 2]
They call me Mr. Pitiful
Yes, everybody knows now
They call me Mr. Pitiful
Most everyplace I go now
But nobody seems to understand now
What makes a man sing such a sad song
Ooh, when you lost everything
When you lost everything, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
How can I explain to you
Somebody actin' so very blue
How can I tell you about my thing
All the things we'll do

[Verse 3]
Yeah, Mr Pitiful
Baby, that's my name
They call me Mr. Pitiful
That's how I got my fame
But nobody seems to understand now
What makes a man feel so blue
They call me Mr. Pitiful
'Cause I lost someone just like you, yeah

[Outro]
Everything is going wrong
Everything I had 'til now, baby
Oh, I got to sing you a sad song
Oh, a sad song, oh yeah
I gotta get back to you one more time
One more time, one more time, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
One more time, one more time
One more, one more, one more time, yeah yeah yeah yeah
