(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 ?
