Why Don't You Try Me

Ry Cooder

    Continues after the ad

    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 ?
