Lyrics I'm Just Pitiful That Way - Marshall Chapman

I cry every time you leave me
I can't stand it when you leave me
I'm like a little bitty baby crying for its mama
I'm just pitiful that way
Tears they squirt out of my eyes
Til I can't see to drive
I pull over to the side of the road
Ah, it's great to be alive

We've been lovers for a long time
Still I'm uneasy when you leave me
Your job involves a lot of travel
I always come unraveled
I'm just pitiful that way

Pride, it seems like I have more pride
Can't pull myself together
But inside, there's just too much inside
Ah, it's great to be alive

Once I took an uplifting pill
I thought I'd die inside
I'm glad I'm sentimentally ill
Ah, it's great to be alive

I cry every time you leave me
I cry, I'm just pitiful that way
I'm just pitiful that way

Pitiful

Don't talk to me about abandonment issues
While I'm reaching for my Kleenex tissues
I'm just pitiful that way
I'm just pitiful that way
