[Bb]
I met her at a [Eb] nightclub over on the Lower East Side.
[F] I was working with my head down trying to keep a [Bb] groove alive.
She looked like a bunny out of Playboy [Eb] magazine.
I [Bb] just had to admit it, [F] she was the cutest thing I'd [Bb] ever seen.
She had high heel boots, doll [Eb] hair, and big blue eyes.
[F] The way she would move into the music had me [Bb] hypnotized.
[Eb]
[Bb] I ran up to her and said, baby, what's [Eb] your name?
Well, [Cm] now I should've [Bb] known better [F] now, I only got myself [Bbm] to blame.
[Bb] I said, why me?
[Bbm] [Eb] [F]
Falling like this is the very last thing I [Bb] need.
If I had an exemption, though, I'd turn right around [Eb] and leave.
I [Bb] said, why, [Fm] why [Bb] me?
[Eb]
[F] Well, [Bb]

[Eb] you know my honey was gone.

I said, why [Eb] me?
