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

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

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