Have Mercy
I was standing in line at the city bus stop
Soaked to the skin from every rain drop
I saw you driving by just like a phantom jet
With your arm around some little brunette
You said you won't be home because you're woking late
Honey, I'm no fool
You've been out on a date
Lipstick on your collar gives your game away
It's strawberry ripple, mine's pink rose
Have mercy
On me
You treat me so bad
I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, baby
Can't you see
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Well I call you up on
On the telephone
I could hear you was playing
Haggert and Jones
I knew right there that there was
Something wrong
There's only one reason you play
Cheating songs
Have mercy
On me
You treat me so bad
I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, baby
Can't you see
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Well, I went to the bank with my little cheque book
The cashier he gave me the strangest look
He said you ain't got money 'cause you're overdrawn
Your man took it all and he's
Long gone
Have mercy
On me
You treat me so bad
I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, baby
Can't you see
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Have mercy
On me
You treat me so bad
I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, baby
Can't you see
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
