Have Mercy

(album: Rhythm And Romance - 1989)

You're so deep you should have been an ocean
And I'd be your river, baby
I wanna let you know, girl
Your every wave is sending my emotion
Under a bridge of devotion, oh yeah

Every night, all day long
Can't stop thinking about your love (About your love)
I wanna get into love, girl
I can't fight it, it's just too sweet
Can't be strong when my heart is weak (My heart is weak)
You know exactly what I need

Oh-oh, ooh...
Have mercy, mercy
Please don't leave me thirsting
So crazy, you've got to
Know I can't live without you (I can't live without you)
Have mercy, mercy
You know this heart is worthy
And down deep, no doubting
You're all I'm ever wanting (All I'm ever wanting)

So, baby, have mercy
Ooh, mercy on me
So crazy about you
No, I can't live my life without you

You're so sweet, you must be 'cause the bees sting
There's nothing good easy
I've gotta getcha, honey
Sunshine morning, don't it always make the birds sing?
You know how to please me

Every night, all day long
I keep thinking about your love (About your love)
And it's beginning to haunt me
I can't fight it, a love this sweet
Can't be strong when my heart is weak (My heart is weak)
You know exactly what I need

Oh-oh, ooh...
Have mercy, mercy
Please don't leave me thirsting
So crazy, you've got to
Know I can't live without you (I can't live without you)
Have mercy, mercy
You know this heart is worthy
And down deep, no doubting
You're all I'm ever wanting (All I'm ever wanting)

So, baby, have mercy
Ooh, mercy on me
So crazy about you
No, I can't live my life without you

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy

Oh-oh, baby
Have mercy, mercy
Please don't leave me thirsting
So crazy, you've got to
Know I can't live without you (I can't live without you)
Have mercy, mercy
You know this heart is worthy
And down deep, no doubting
You're all I'm ever wanting (All I'm ever wanting)

So, baby, have mercy
Mercy on me, yeah
So crazy about you
Know I can't live without you (I can't live without you)
Have mercy, mercy
Please don't leave me thirsting
So crazy, you've got to
Know I can't live without you

'Cause what I feel inside
Ooh, baby, I can't hide
And it's down so deep
Baby, show a little mercy for me
'Cause what I feel inside
Ooh, baby, I can't hide
And, girl, your love's so sweet
Baby, show a little mercy
