[Verse 1]
If your man's 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 than 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?

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
Last night while I was trying to sleep
I heard a racket from the room next door, hmm
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 bed and I opened the door
Just as you came runnin' out
And I hollered baby
[Chorus]
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?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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 you, girl, you know I'm not lyin'
You see a good woman out on the street 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

[Chorus]
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, yeah?
Why don't you try me tonight?
Why don't you try me?
Why don't you try a man like me tonight?
Why don't you try me?
