[B] [E] [B] [E] If your [B] man's got you on the run, [A]
why don't you [E] try me?
If [F#] you wanna have [B] a little fun, oh [A] baby, why don't you [E] try me?
If you [B] talk more than you can bear, [A] if your trouble's been [E] more than you'll share,
and if things [B] are not going just right, [A] why don't you try a man like [E] me tonight?
Hey, hey!
Why [A] don't you try [B] me [E] tonight?
[A] Hmm-mm!
Why [B] don't you [E] try me?
Hey!
Why [A] don't you [B] try me [E] tonight?
[A] [E] Why don't you try me?
Last night, [B] while I was trying to sleep, [F#m] I heard a racket [B] from the room [E] next door.
Hmm.
And that was you and your old [B] man having a fight, [A] like you'd done so [E] many nights before.
Well, woman, I'm telling you, every [B] witch craves a loser. Hmm.
[A] That's what I [B] [E] heard him shout.
Uh-oh, look out!
So I jumped out of [B] bed and I opened the door, just [A] as you [B] came [E] running out at a heart-
Why [A] don't you [B] try me tonight?
[A] Why don't [B] you [E] try me?
[B] [E] Let me tell you again.
Why [A] don't you [B] try me tonight?
[A] Oh, uh-uh!
[B] Why don't you [E] try me?
Hmm.

[C#m] [B] [E] Hmm.
Hmm.
I ain't [B] saying I'm all that you need.
[A] And I won't tell [E] you, honey, you will be free.
But all [F#m] night, [B] well, I will keep trying.
[A] And when I [B] say I want you, [E] girl, you know I'm not lying.
You see, if the new [B] woman's out on the street these days, friend,
[A] well, a bad old man [E] can be hard to find.
No, no.
Kind of man [B] who'd steal your heart [A] and call true [E] love a crime.
And if I could just -
Why [A] don't you try [B] me tonight?
You [A] need something, baby!
Why [B] don't you try [E] me?
Well, a regular [A] [B] man ain't taking [E] your life.
[A] I'd love to tie [B] a man like [E] [A] me to [E] my nails.
[G#m] Why [A] don't you try [B] me [E] tonight?
[A] [E] Why don't you try me?
[B] [E] [G#m] Why [A] don't you [B]
try me tonight?
[A] Why [B] don't you [E] try me?
Why don't you try me?
