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 ?
