-----------------................
 They call me Mr. Pitiful;  baby, that's my name now,
 They call me Mr. Pitiful; that's how I got my fame.
 But people just don't understand  how a man can feel so blue,
 They call me Mr. Pitiful,  'cos  I lost someone just like you.
 The 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,
 When he lost  everything that he had.
 How can I explain to you, how  somebody can get 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  what make a man feel so blue,
 They call me Mr. Pitiful,  'cos  I lost someone just like 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'm gonna sing this song to you;
 And I want you, and I want you, and I want you, and I want you.
 And I wanna tell you everything is going through my mind,
 And I want to sing, and I want to sing,
 And I want to sing, and I want to sing this song with you,
 And I wanna sing this song to everyone.
 'Cos I want them to understand what I talkin' about,
 I want you to understand, what I'm sayin'...
