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 ?
