WHY’D YOU MAKE ME?

(Timothy Brickley & David Rheins)

 

Why’d you make me do you so bad?

Why’d you make me treat you so wrong?

You were the best girl I ever had

and I was the best guy you’d ever known.

 

Why did I have to drive you away?

Stay out drinking and playing around?

I was thinking maybe we could settle down,

Now look what you’ve went and done.

 

    Oh honey, baby, sugar – why?

    Tell me if you’re really gone this time?

    I’ll change, I swear to you it’s true.

    Darling make me make it up to you.

 

Why’d you make me do you so bad?
