Why Don`t You Try Me — текст песни (Ry Cooder)

(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 ?
