They call me Mr Pitiful

They call me Mr Pitiful Thats how I got my fame


But people just don`t seem to understand
How someone can feel so blue
They call me Mr pitiful cause I lost someone just like you

They call me Mr Pitiful Most everyplace 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 con get so very blue
How can I tell you about my past
If all things won`t end
