Otis Redding - Mr. Pitiful

They call me Mr. Pitiful

Baby that's my name now, oh !

They call me Mr. Pitiful

That' s how I got my fame

But people just don`t seem to understand

What a man make feel so blue

Oh, they call me Mr pitiful

'cause I lost someone just like you.

They call me Mr. Pitiful

This everybody know now

They call me Mr. Pitiful

most everyplace I go.

But nobody seems to understand now,

How can a man sing such a sad song

Oh, when he lost everything

when he lost everything that he had.

Instrumental

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

Oh, what make a man can feel so blue

They call me Mr. Pitiful

cause I' m in love with 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 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]

Cause I want them to understand what I talkin about

I want you to understand what I'm sayin

... find super, dass in diesem (traurigen ;-) Liebeslied nur einmal das Wort "love" vorkommt: so sollte es sein: das Wort "Liebe" nicht immer so inflationär benutzen. Manche Dinge spürt man, sie müssen nicht immer ausgesprochen werden. Eine Geste, ein Geschenk oder ein Bild sagen manchmal mehr als tausend Worte !
