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, 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 ?

Just a one more kiss He'll have to miss This night with you Now you're guilty of this secret love as I am too You'll get used to telling lies And feeling sorry when he cries Now that the strings are attached He'll catch on, we've done our part 'Cause this is the way we make a broken heart Lesson number one We've just begun To hurt him so And with lesson two He'll long for you When lights are low Then we get to lesson three Where he gets down on his knees And begs you to stop at the door Just before he comes apart And this is the way we make a broken heart Now we've layed a trail of tears For him to follow And we've thought of every line That he might swallow And with lesson four There'll be no more For him to bear And on some dark night We'll dim the lights On this affair Then he'll find somebody new And she will hurt him too 'Cause there must be millions just like you and me Practiced in the art This is the way we make a broken heart Oh, this is the way we make a broken heart This is the way we make a broken heart |

Well, I met a girl from Texas 'bout a year ago Hadn't known her for too long when I had to let her go You see, she had a razor, was ten inches or so And every night you'd hear her knocking at my door She said, "Baby, I'll give you the clothes on my back You can have everything that I've got in my shack But if you ever try to leave they'll take your out in sack 'Cause me and my razor will see to that" That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas I thought about my situation, decided not to tarry For my own self preservation I decided we should marry When the preacher started reading 'bout 'till death do us part I told him, "Skip it, we had that understanding right from the start" That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em right or leave 'em alone) Well, we settled down, got me a little old job, '65 Fairlane Ford Every Friday night I would stop in and cash my pay check down at the grocery store They had a little girl worked in there, must have been about seventeen She was the cutest thing I had ever seen It's the same old story and I'm afraid it wasn't too very long Before we had fallen deeply in love and I knew it was wrong I said baby, we got to stop this thing right here Or my woman is gonna cut my throat from ear to ear, that's right In tearful supplication, she looked up in my face I could feel her heart was breaking as these sad words she did say "You should have told me you was married, baby She pulled out a forty-five and let me have it, right smack between the eyes That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas She was guilty, I was dead Now, what'd you think that the old judge said ? "Ah, that's just the way the girls are down here in Texas Case dismissed!" That's the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em right or leave 'em alone, boy) |
