(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 ?
