[Intro]
A   E   A
[Verse]
AI met her in a night club over on the lower east Dside
I was workEin' with my head down tryin' to keep the groove Aalive
SAhe looked like a bunny out of Playboy Dmagazine
I just haAd to meet her; she was the Ecutest thing I'd ever Aseen
AShe had high heel boots, blonde hair and big blue Deyes
The way she was movin' to the mEusic had me hypnotAized
AI ran up to her, said, "Baby, what's your Dname?"
AI should've know better; now I've Eonly got myself to Ablame
[Chorus]
AWhy, why, why Dme?
EFallin' like this is the very last thing I Aneed
AIf I had any sense, you know, I'd turn right around and Dleave
I said whAy, why, why me?
[Verse]
AStarted drinkin' champagne, makin' every joint in Dtown
EBam! A hundred dollars every time I turned aAround
A'bout the time my money ran out, you know, my honey was Dgone
AAnd I was cryin' out loud to Emyself, as I was walkin' Ahome
[Chorus]
AWhy, why, why Dme?
EFallin' like this is the very last thing I Aneed
AIf I had any sense, you know, I'd turn right around and Dleave
I said whAy, why, why me?
A

[Verse]

A D

I met her in a night club over on the lower east side

E A

I was workin' with my head down tryin' to keep the groove alive

A D

She looked like a bunny out of Playboy magazine

A E A

I just had to meet her; she was the cutest thing I'd ever seen

A D

She had high heel boots, blonde hair and big blue eyes

E A

The way she was movin' to the music had me hypnotized

A D

I ran up to her, said, "Baby, what's your name?"

A E A

I should've know better; now I've only got myself to blame

[Chorus]

A D

Why, why, why me?

E A

Fallin' like this is the very last thing I need

A D

If I had any sense, you know, I'd turn right around and leave

I said why, why, why me?

[Verse]

A D

Started drinkin' champagne, makin' every joint in town

E A

Bam! A hundred dollars every time I turned around

A D

'bout the time my money ran out, you know, my honey was gone

A E A

And I was cryin' out loud to myself, as I was walkin' home

[Chorus]

A D

Why, why, why me?

E A

Fallin' like this is the very last thing I need

A D

If I had any sense, you know, I'd turn right around and leave

I said why, why, why me?
