D                                Dm       
I wish that you would listen and maybe try to understand 
       D                        Dm 
There just ain't nothin' here to hurt you 
D                     Dm 
You don't know me yet you say so like you do 
D                                        Dm 
Cause each time I that I write you you make me out to be your fool 
F                       Em       D 
Baby, what's the matter please? 

If I give you lovin' from way down deep inside 
You say I'm just pretending but if I had something to hide 
Would I stand up to have you laugh right in my face 
I'm a simple man of love is that to my disgrace 
Baby, what's the matter please? 

Bm             F#m  
Lonely nights thinkin' what should I do 
G                             Bm            F#m 
Draw the line, I got feelings too, that's right 
G                            D                 F 
But I'll love you and try to put your heart at ease 
                        Em       D 
Baby, what's the matter please? 

D 
Precious moments are so few 
F                                D 
Looking for the love I thought I knew 

My life seems like a hundred years a day  
Waiting in this dream or in a nightmare should I say 
Cause all I'm askin's that we never give away 
That little bit of somethin that meant so much yesterday 
Baby, what's the matter please?
