WHY ME - Hot Grubb G C I met her in a night club over on the lower east side D G I was workin' with my head down tryin' to keep the groove a-live G C She looked like a bunny out of Playboy maga-zine D G I just had to meet her; she was the cutest thing I'd ever seen G C She had high heel boots, blonde hair and big blue eyes D G The way she was movin' to the music had me hypno-tized G C I ran up to her, said "Baby, what's your name?" D G I should've known better I've only got myself to blame G C I said why-y-y, why, why me? D G Fallin' like this is the very last thing I need G C If I had any sense, you know, I'd turn right around and leave D G I said why, why, why, why me? Lead G C Started drinkin' champagne, makin' every joint in town D G Bam! A hundred dollars every time I turned around G C By the time my money ran out, you know, my honey was gone D G And I was cryin' out loud to myself as I was walkin' home G C I said why-y-y, why, why me? D G Fallin' like this is the very last thing I need G C If I had any sense, you know, I'd turn right around and leave D G (single notes B C C#) I said why, why, why, why me? G C Why, why, why, why me? D G I said why, why, why, why me?
