McClinton, Delbert - Why Me? Lyrics
I met her in a night club over on the lower east side
I was workin' with my head down tryin' to keep the groove alive
She looked like a bunny out of Playboy magazine
I just had to meet her; she was the cutest thing I'd ever seen.
The way she was movin' to the music had me hypnotized
I ran up to her, said, "Baby, what's your name?"
I should've know better; now I've only got myself to blame.
Why, why, why me?
Fallin' like this is the very last thing I need
If I had any sense, you know, I'd turn right around and leave
I said why, why, why me?
Started drinkin' champagne, makin' every joint in town
'bout the time my money ran out, you know, my honey was gone
And I was cryin' out loud to myself, as I was walkin' home.
Why, why, why me?
Fallin' like this is the very last thing I need
If I had any sense, you know, I'd turn right around and leave
I said why, why, why me?

McClinton, Delbert Why Me? Comments
Delbert still kills it. Great song.
Delbert played harmonica on Bruce Channel's #1 hit in 1962-"Hey Baby".
Great song...that is a top notch band right there...horns piano bass and drums...
Opened for him at the palace in Waterbury Ct 11/13/18 and at the Xfinity Ballroom in Hartford Ct Last August. Our band Jam Factory isn't famous but he treated us so well! Great gut and a legend!
Who are the thumbs down . ! . No soul . ? . Your loss
Delbert is a master of all styles of music. Blows me away.

I like the pianist's three chairs to get high enough. Love Delbert.

Delberts still going strong on this rock n' roll song.Can't sit still with his music.I don't care what age you are.
Who’s the drummer ? Coulda swore I’ve seen him play with Joe Cocker.
Yep Joe Cocker, and Tina Turner, and Elton John... need more? https://www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Jack_Bruno.html
I sang on stage with Delbert in Bossier City years ago. We were both drunk.
That's the blues , stackem up, so you can rockem up ,love the horns ,Delbert and the band sound great .
Delbert should have blown the harp!
Delbert truly is a legend what an iconic voice, I have been a life long fan of Delberts' my favorite album is " one of the fortunate few" as well as the 1989 presidential inauguration what a night of great performances. Is Delbert still doing the Blues Cruise?
The old girl blowing that sax is fuckin hot.
The last time my band opened for him we raised so much Hell I spent the night in a Texas jail.
Oh what a night!
Delbert still smokin after 60? years. He's always got playtime on my iPod.
One of the all time GREATS ... the album that song is on is also FANTASTIC!!! If you haven't listened to it you're cheating yourself out of some great music
Saw him in Ft Worth Texas in the 80s. It was a great show.
This man taught John Lennon to play the harmonica....very talented...
no he didn't...i did. I could play circles around Lennon. I learned from the best . Jimmy Reed
Mr. Wizard LoL
Donald Gorth ...howdy...did he really teach John lennon. plus do you know his song.." they both had racey motors...two more bottles of wine."
been a Delbert McClinton fan for a long time, he is one rocking son-of-a-gun
My wife and I love this song, she dance all over the house. pretty good her age.
His voice hasn't aged a day!
Qué temazo!!!! Qué buena banda!!!! (lástima que no le compran un taburete al pianista!!!!!!) El baterista, Jack Bruno es de los mejores!!!!!! Espero poder viajar a ver la banda o que vengan a la Argentina!!!!
I was at that taping in San Marcos. Wonderful!
just gotta love this
Love this song!
I am 71 and I WANT that drummer!
Linda Tower I'll take the sax player! 🎷🎷
Jac Bruno, of Tina Turner, Elton John, Joe Cocker fame. The best.
Delbert on my bucket list ..
Mine too
He’s on the road a lot so it should be easy to see him. I’ve had the privilege of seeing him perform over two dozen times over the years.
Jaysus!!!!
Hit a few bumps along the way, but still rockin'.
Effin tight! Master musicianship along with some smokin' horns.
🎉🎉❤️🎉🎉 Woo Hoo & Yeah Baby Too ❤️ Love Delbert 💋
I've been fan of Delbert since I was in High school.. Way back in the 80s
1st song I've ever heard from Delbert. It's a classic jam with solid musicians, wonderfully delivered, honest & soulful & most important fun! I'm a fan now!
Please check him out is is flipping amazing !!!!!!!!!!
I never knew this..WOW!!!! 2018 <3
gotta listen again!!! band's blowin my mind!!!
Delbert McClinton is just so special with his songs!
LOVE Delbert!
I don't dance at all, but it sure is hard not to be moving to this. Dang! Love to see his live.
Sounds very Chuck Berry -influenced to me, but that's not necessarily a bad thing... Check out Chuck Berry's Promised Land, for example, and see if you can hear the similarities.....
what a rockin song. but will someone get the piano player a proper throne!!!!
For years I have wanted to improve my keyboard finesse but now I see that the secret is sitting on three stacked plastic chairs, I am going to try that right now!
Looks very unprofessional
Delbert still got it!
Glad you guys loved Albert I've seen Delbert 50 some odd times and he has never let me down he's one heck of a musician songwriter and singer love love you Delbert
Delbert is the best.
Jack Bruno magic,,,,
Good lord ! Solid
No better anybody anywhere....
Guitar player looks like Kevin Sorbo..
