What's the Matter Please

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?
