Ry Cooder - Why Don't You Try Me lyrics

(e. young) If your man has got you on the run why don't you try me ? If you wanna have a little fun, oh baby, why don't you try me ? If you tote more that you can bear, if your troubles been more than your share And if things are not going just right why don't you try a man like me tonight ? Why don't you try me tonight ? Why don't you try me ? Why don't you try me tonight ? Why don't you try me ? Last night while i was trying to sleep I heard a racket from the room next door, hum And that was you and your man havin' a fight Like you've done so many nights before "woman, i'll turn you every which way but loose" Is what i heard him shout, uh-oh, look out! So i jumped out of the bed and i opened the door Just as you came runnin' out And i hollered: why don't you try me tonight ? Why don't you try me ? Why don't you try me tonight ? Why don't you try me ? I ain't saying i'm all that you need And i won't tell you, honey, you will be free But all night, well, i will keep trying And when i say i want ya, girl, you know i'm not lyin' You see a good woman out on the streets these days, friends Ah, a bad old man can't be hard to find, no, no Kind of man who'd steal your heart And call true love a crime That's why i keep asking ya, baby Why don't you try me tonight ? Do yourself a favor Why don't you try me ? Regular man ain't treatin' you right Why don't you try a man like me tonight ? Why don't you try me ? Why don't you try a man like me tonight ? Why don't you try me ?
