E           B
Last night while I was trying to sleep
A               E
I heard a racket from the room next door, hum
E               B
And that was you and your man havin' a fight
A            E
Like you've done so many nights before
E                   B
"Woman, I'll turn you every which way but loose"
A          E
Is what I heard him shout, uh-oh, look out!
E                B
So I jumped out of the bed and I opened the door
A            E
Just as you came runnin' out

        E         B
And I hollered: why don't you try me tonight ?
A         E
Why don't you try me ?
E         B
Why don't you try me tonight ?
A         E
Why don't you try me ?




E              B
I ain't saying I'm all that you need
A                   E
And I won't tell you, honey, you will be free
E              B
But all night, well, I will keep trying
A                      E
And when I say I want ya, girl, you know I'm not lyin'
E                B
You see a good woman out on the streets these days, friends
A                E
Ah, a bad old man can't be hard to find, no, no
E              B
Kind of man who'd steal your heart
A          E
And call true love a crime
