If your man has got you on the run, why don’t you try me ?
And 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, 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
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 tonight?
Why don’t you try me?
Why don’t you try me tonight?
Why don’t you try me?
