Why Don't You Try Me (Ry Cooder)

If your man has got you on the run, why don't you try me ? And 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, 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 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 tonight? Why don't you try me?
