I met her at a nightclub [Eb] over on the lawyer's 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. _ _
[Bb] I just had to meet [F] her, she was the cutest thing I'd [Bb] ever seen. _
She had high heel boots, blonde hair, and [Eb] 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, [Eb] what's your name? _
[Bb] Well, I shouldn't know better [F] now, I only got [Bb] myself to blame. _ _
I said, why _ _ [Bbm] [Eb] me? _ _ _
[F] Falling like this is the very [Bb] last thing I need. _ _
Never had an exemption, though I turned right around [Eb] and leave. _ _

[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
started drinking champagne, [Eb] making every [Ab] joint in [Eb] town. _ _
[Fm] _ [F] $100 every time I [Eb] turned around.
[Bbm] _ [Bb]
Every [Eb] time I'm on out, [Bb] you know my [Eb] honey was gone. _
[Bb] And I was crying out [F] loud to myself as I was [Bb] walking home.
I said, why _ [Eb] me? _ _ _
[F] Falling like this is the very last [Bb] thing I need. _
Never had an exemption, though I turned right [Eb] around and leave. _
[Bb] I said, why [F] me?
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] Oh, [Bb] _ [Dm] why [Bb] me? _ _ _
